New Zealand 1968 1 Dollar Wilks Signature Perforated SPECIMEN OF NO VALUE Pick 163bs serial 5J000000 PCGS 66 PPQ Gem New

New Zealand 1968 - 1 Dollar Wilks Signature Perforated 'SPECIMEN OF NO VALUE' Specimen Serial 5J000000 (Pick 163bs)

Unlike the overprint presentation type, this piece carries the legend 'SPECIMEN OF NO VALUE' perforated across the design, with no red diagonal overprint, no De La Rue oval control stamps, and no punch-hole cancellation. Perforated specimens were retained internally by Thomas De La Rue & Company for record and archival verification rather than prepared for external distribution. Their survival rate is limited, as most were withdrawn or destroyed once production advanced into later signature periods. Read more →
