Welcome to Phoenix Auctions Auction No.39 This is our fourth Auction for 2015 and total estimates exceed $700,000. There are a number of changes to be aware of. The first is that this auction will be held on a Friday. This is a permanent change and we do realise that some will find this inconvenient, while for others it will either be an improvement or it will make no significant difference. As a consequence our Boxlot auctions will now be held on Thursday afternoons. The second change is that we have now put a starting time on the Australian Colonies part of the catalogue. While this is not a formal break, as there is between sessions, we do guarantee that we won’t start before the specified time so that you can plan your day appropriately. A couple of staffing changes have occurred. Ken and Betty have decided to spend a little more time at home, enjoying the grandchildren and looking after their garden and orchard. We would like to thank them for their sterling work and wish them all the best for their “retirement”. Hopefully they will still find a little bit of time to help us in our peak periods. As a consequence Cathy will now be our principal phone answerer and admin person. We have a number of fascinating items in this auction. Our front cover item is the fantastic unissued 2d scarlet KEVIII. This stamp was supposed to be completely destroyed after the abdication. By an unusual set of circumstances a block of 6 survived and we are offering a single from this block. For more background information see the description for lot 1207. We have been fortunate to receive some of the philatelic and numismatic estate of Ron J Becker. He was a long-time and senior employee of the Note Printing Branch. The most amazing item was a complete sheet of the unissued 5d Brush Turkey. This was used to evaluate the new Chambon printer. The bottom half block of 30 has been sold privately and the rest is being sold as lots 1228-31. Lots 1174-8 are some entries in the 1946 stamp competition and lots 17-19 & 1324 have Banknote and War Bonds proofs. A most unusual assemblage. The Georgian Heads are a very popular part of Australian Philately and in this catalogue we are offering the ½d stamps from the famous Pericles collection, it contains many rarities and stunning blocks. Combined with material from other vendors, it makes the KGV Heads section essential viewing for collectors of this issue. Session 1 starts at 9:30am and contains the Rest of the World through to the end of the Australian Colonies Australian Colonies will start no earlier than 11:00am Session 2 will start no earlier than 1:00pm and contains the Australian Commonwealth issues through to the end of the pre-decimal period Session 3 will start no earlier than 3:00pm and contains Decimals, Postal Stationery, Postal History and Australian Territories There is something for almost everyone in this auction.

Phoenix Auctions - Friday 17th July 2015
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. Most lots have at least one illustration in the catalogue and on our website many will have multiple illustrations.
2.
The second column contains a symbol, which represents the item(s) in the lot: ** Mint, unmounted o.g. * Mint, mounted o.g. V Used, Very fine. F Used, Fine G Used, Good H Used, Heavy U Used,quality unspecified W D Unused, no gum Piece * Cover, card or S Stamp (“Postmarks” lots) PS Postal Stationery B Booklets or Booklet Panes
3.
The 3rd column contains the general description of the lot and should be self-evident with one exception. When a catalogue value is extrapolated the value is followed by a ↕, e.g. $2000↕. Typical extrapolations are 40% of the catalogue value for hinged mint when the catalogue only provides values for MUH, 200% for MUH when the catalogue value is for mint hinged. 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'. After the forscription of the postmark we will indicate the overall quality of the cancel with a bracketed 2 character code. The first character is A-D where A is a fine clear postmark through to D which is barely legible. The second character is a number from 1 to 4 where 1 is complete including all the frame through to 4 where only 25% or less of the cancel is visible. For exceptional strikes we will further qualify the quality code with a ‘+’ and for items which are light etc the code will be qualified with a ‘-’. 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.
4.
The symbols in the second column, and the illustrations of lots, form part of the lot description.
5.
The last column is the estimate. The reserve is almost always 75% of the estimate and bids below the reserve will not usually be considered.
6.
No GST is added to the hammer price. The vendors have accepted responsibility for any tax payable.
7.
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 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
