One Mile Creek Cancels on Fiscal Stamps
A number of 103 cancels have been seen on fiscal issues. These are usually beautiful "socked on the nose" type strikes with the requisite 24 rays and 4.5 mm high numerals and appear to be genuine. It is probable that these strikes, some of them on low value fiscals, are philatellicaly inspired. As such, I haven't given them a rarity rating, merely showing the known examples
