3 PREMIER POSTAL AUCTIONS 53-10:00am Thursday 10th February 2005 Page 3 HOW TO GET THE MOST FROM OUR CATALOGUE [These notes are offered as a guide to understanding the information given as symbols.] 1. Firstly, we have the lot number. If it is in bold and underlined, the item is illustrated: e.g (The actual location of the illustration is given at the end of the description: e.g. {Page 41.37} is position 37 on page 41.) 2. The second column contains a symbol, which represents the item(s) in the lot: ** Mint, unmounted o.g. * Mint, mounted o.g. W Unused, no gum D Piece ( Postmarks lots) C Cover or card ( Postmarks lots) A Albums and accessories L Literature P Proof S Stamp ( Postmarks lots) or, in the case of used stamps, covers & Postal Stationery a grading of the cancellation: V Neat postmark, leaving most of the stamp design clear F Neat postmark, across at least half of the stamp design G Untidy or indistinct postmark H Heavy or poorly struck postmark 3. The third column gives an overall quality assessment for the lot, from A to D. The same standard applies to mint and used stamps, to covers, postal stationery, literature etc. An item graded A is very fine; it has no faults. B items are fine and may have minor imperfections. A C item will exhibit obvious faults. Items in poor condition are rated D. Occasionally, an item in truly superb condition will be rated A+. This grading is used sparingly and is not applied to modern material, which one would normally expect to be in very fine to superb condition. An otherwise very fine item which has a subsidiary problem may be allocated an A-. This may be a stamp with writing or a hinge remainder on the reverse. A cover may have a receiver s endorsement on the face. The halves of a letter card may be stuck together. A book may have a previous owner s notations. Whether this factor makes the item an A- or B is a matter of degree. 4. The fourth column is relevant to perforated stamps, and also to lots listed under the sub-heading Postmarks. For perforated stamps, this column gives a grading for both centring and perforations. The letter A to D relates to centring. A stamps are very well centred; B stamps are slightly off-centre; C stamps are significantly off-centre, and may have the perforations slightly into the design; D stamps are badly off-centre, with the perforations well into the design. [NB: These gradings are the same for all perforated issues, whether Australian Decimals, De La Rue Colonial keyplates or 19 th Century American issues. However, it should be understood that for many issues poor centring is the norm. Thus C, and even D, gradings should be expected and accepted. For such issues a B stamp will be above-average and an A stamp will be considered an exceptional copy.] Following the letter A to D is a number 1 to 4. A stamp with all perforations intact is 1. One or two short perfs, or normal rough perforations, will drop the grading to 2. More notable perforation problems such as the perfs down one side being trimmed will result in a 3 grading. A stamp with major perforation faults will be a 4. [NB: A stamp graded A1 is well-centred with all perforations intact. In many cases, particularly with modern issues, this is the norm. However, for many issues, B2 or even C3 may be normal and quite acceptable.] For lots listed under the sub-headings Postmarks and Ship/Paquebot Markings, this column gives a grading for quality of the strike, and completeness. Quality is graded from A (very fine) to D (poor). Completeness is graded from 1 (complete) to 5 (identifiable only). + is used for superb strikes; - is used for postmarks which are lightly struck, a little doubled, or otherwise a bit short of the mark. 5. The 5th column contains the general description of the of the lot and should be self-evident, however the following notes apply specifically to postmark description. Whenever possible postmarks will be described in full, except that the top portion of a postmark is only spelt out when it differs from the post office name or requires some clarification. bracketed shaded text within a description indicates that these characters cannot be read, while greyed characters are hard to read or are only partly present, as is the case when part of the postmark is on the edge of a stamp. Very large or small letters are represented by large and small fonts respectively; small fonts are particularly used to indicate the presence of small nylon wheels in the datestamp. The following example illustrates these points: '[POST] OFFICE/ 21DE86 /GARAH'. For postmark lots the condition of the postmark is the most important aspect of our descriptions. Minor defects in the stamp or cover are mentioned only when the value of the item is significant. Naturally, major defects will always be described. 6. The symbols in the second, third and fourth columns, and the illustrations of lots, form part of the lot description. 7. Figures in the right-hand column are our estimate of value. You may bid at, above or below estimate. The reserve price for almost every lot is 80% of estimate (rounded to the nearest bidding step). Bids below this level will not be considered. Lots with an estimate of $3 or less have no reserve. Where an estimate is suffiexed with a T then Australian residents will be charged GST on the hammer price. 8. We use the following standardised abbreviations: o.g. original gum opt(d) overprint(ed) d/s datestamp cds circular datestamp h/s handstamp mss manuscript; handwritten ERD earliest recorded date LRD latest recorded date o/o opened-out RLabel registration label M/S(s) miniature sheet(s) PPC picture postcard cnr corner blk block impt imprint mtd mounted provl provisional wmk watermark LDL large dateline (postmarks) SDL small dateline (postmarks) TLC,TRC,LLC,LRC Top Left Cnr, Top Right Cnr, Lower Left Cnr, Lower Right Cnr
