Hi Rob,
Love the collection, very informative.
Of course I am very envious, but it just encourages me to try and obtain better examples of stamps.
I will post a scan of the back of my Girl Guide stamp later today, and would like your opinion if it is Aniline ink or not.

Hi Rob
this is the back of the stamps which is a better scan than the front
This is the front, don't know why the scanner does this with all blue items

This collection which I started in 1985 is nearly a full series of stamps from 1953 to 1966 when Australia was introduced decimal currency.
The extremely rare 1959 5d blue with the left side imperforated from the stamp to the margin, in the Australian Commonwealth Specialists’ Catalogue (ACSC) it is catalogued at $5,000; only 10 exist, some varieties are added, including the newly discovered aniline ink 5d Golden Jubilee of Guiding 1910-1960 commemorative stamp.
All stamps are in pristine mint unhinged condition. The pre-decimal Navigator series is very rare, some of these stamps, for example the £2 with the Specimen in central position is rare, only a very limited quantity were printed.
