I think in my opinion that the penny halfpenny George v stamp is possibly the most variety plagued stamp of the Georges. These examples are just from examining about two hundred copies. I have not even looked at the mint copies that I have.
What do others think.
Also one stamp is more of a plum red colour, which I have been told is hard to find used or mint. I don't know if that is true perhaps some-one else knows.
Sorry about the quality of the scans, If I try to enlarge the page, it will be too big to upload.

The 1½d is my favourite of the KGV heads. Multiple colours across multiple watermarks, and riddled with varieties!

Hi Dave,
I think I am beginning to like it more than the penny Red George V.
Have you ever thought of writing a monograph on stamp?

I'm afraid I'm just an old fashioned collector, collecting countries and getting excited when I fill a page. I admire you collectors who can write monographs on stamps - reminds me of Sherlock Holmes and his monographs on tobacco ash!! Seriously, you people who do that sort of thing have my admiration!!

I love to assemble multiple copies of a stamp
that was printed over a long period f time by
different printers, printing agencies or presses.
Obviously some apparent shades are the result
of light exposure or careless soaking, but I
mount them on blank quadrille pages and insert
the pages into the albums close to where the
"official" color/variety is/are located.
Printers, are humans working by eye and are
attempting to match the original shades so they
do make errors that add interest to a collection.

Hi Harvey and others,
talking about silly subjects for monographs, I once wrote a poem about the Tim Tam biscuits.
