I purchased this stamp with several others on several sheets.
Now one of the stamps, the previous owner has listed as DIE II, if this is correct, then it is a valuable stamp.
Attached are scans of the stamp, and the sheet of stamps that came with it, I have not moved any as yet to stock books.
What do others think, is the previous owner right, but it is a SPUR

Hi Michael178651
I am not used to all these different dies, what would make it a DIE IA

It certainly looks like a die 2.
Die 2 is not really a separate new die, there are a number of positions on plate 1 of the original plates called die 2 because of the spur in the LVT.
Not overly valuable, my ACSC starts them at SA20 for fine used. There may be other flaws present to establish the exact plate position but I can see nothing obvious on your example.
If you can post a larger copy of the die 3 (this is a new die and printed on 'War savings paper") it could be of interest.

I bet the Scott and Gibbons die numbering aren't the same. The Scott Die 1A has the spur in the LVT.

Hi Horamakhet
Both SG and the ACSC use the term Die 2 for the spur, I do not have a Scott but 1a seems logical.
I cannot see any variety on your die 3. the horizontal line through three shading lines at bottom left of the Kings neck confirms it as Die 3. ACSC for fine used is $30 in my 2014 copy.

Hi Tasnaki
Surprised that you don't have the new coloured edition of the KGV ACSC
The colour photos make it much easier to identify varieties.
The reason I mentioned DIE II might be valuable is that in the 2018 edition of the ACSC it says on page 4/71
DIE II 27500, Mint, and $5250 in used condition, and if you have a pair of DIE I & II then in used condition $10,000.
Also the SG edition 2018 Australia says DIE II 3250 pound for used, and 18000 pound for Mint.
Now I know that it would be impossible to get these prices, but the price of really good copies is increasing.

Hi Horamakhet
You must be looking at the single line perf, these are very rare. Yours is an ordinary comb perf and not uncommon.
A die 1/die 2 pair is certainly valuable.
