Any idea on possible value?  I'd grade it VG by Australian standards. Am I close?

Thanks!

I collect counterfeits too!
us varieties guys are a kooky bunch!

anyways back to the Rennicks variety A17A - die crack to rim thru B, crown &R - scarce
yours had the added 'with pig tail'
I like them
selling?
