Cat No: 9N31 var.
Germany: Berlin, 1948, 60pf Worker, red "BERLIN" overprint doubled (Scott 9N31 var), vertical pair, each with unmistakable doubling of the overprint, the pair tied to piece of package front by Berlin SW11 5.3.49 postmark, Very Fine, with 1962 Wittmann certificate. Michel 31 DD; €1,300 as two used singles ($1,460).
The certificate explains, in part that "these are misprints that were created during the production of the stamps. The weaker red print is a proof, a color sample, which was then covered again by the stronger, lighter red overprint. Under the short-wave light, as well as with all other examination procedures, it can be clearly established that the stamp and the absolutely lighter print, which is definitely beyond doubt, lie atop the darker print, so that a counterfeit of the latter is impossible." .
