1896 ½d Surcharge on 3d ultramarine Orange Tree, full sheet of 120 with selvedge all around and vertical gutter in middle, showing the different overprint types including 8 stamps in 1st column with a second (double) surcharge applied as first impression was deemed inappropriate. Includes Scott #35 (39), 35a (3), 36 (10), 37 (9), 38 (26), 38a (2), 39 (15), 40 (6), 40a, 41 (7) and 41a (2). Mint never hinged with fresh colour. A few small hinge marks in margins and some minor perf separation as expected with a sheet of this period. Very rarely found as a full sheet and the perfect way to show the different overprint types. Catalogue value is for hinged singles only. (Image)
