29b

#29b, 1901 "3 cents" on 10c Blue and brown, triple surcharge, precisely centered mint single, beautifully fresh bright colors, o.g., lightly hinged, extremely fine; this has to be the most undervalued surcharge rarity of this country as this example is believed to be the only known example in existence, a couple of other surcharge rarities of this country are valued considerably higher such as the 1893 12c on 16c Orange brown and blue, double surcharge (Scott #23d; $15,750.00; S.G. #16b; £15,000), of which two examples are recorded, are valued at multiples of this unique issue, perhaps the infrequency of this rarity coming to market accounts for the discrepancy, but certainly this should be the making of an eye-popping realization; 1995 David Brandon certificate (S.G.#37b; £3,250+).

#193a, 1957 "5 cents" Surcharge on 45c Violet brown, double surcharge, in addition the "s" of "cents" is broken, o.g., n.h., fine centering; the type used for this surcharge was the same type as used for the 1893 surcharges in two forms of 30, so only two examples can exist with the combination of double surcharge and the broken "s", catalog values are for the normal double surcharge, this being much rarer (S.G. 191e; £550+) (Image)
