Lot Details
1885 "1d." surcharge in green on 3d brown. Fine used with light duplex cancel. "Thin 1 with slanting top" variety with light doubling of the surcharge at the base of the stamp. Double surcharge for this issue has not been reported & there appear to be no forgeries reported. Considering the fact this stamp has been off the market for the last 40 years we believe it is genuine? Viewing recommended. (see plate 6)
