A RARE NEVER HINGED BLOCK OF THE 1897 1¢ SURCHARGE ISSUE WITH ALL THREE TYPES.

Newfoundland's 1897 Cabot set was inspired by the Columbian and Diamond Jubilee issues, but only the low values sold well. 400,000 1¢ stamps were printed in June 1897, but speculation and high usage led to their shortage by September. The 1¢ was intended mostly for local letter, circulars and third-class mail. With the Cabot plates destroyed and no other 1¢ stamps available, a crisis occurred.

Pending arrival of a new issue, 400 sheets of the 1890 Queen Victoria 3¢ were split in half horizontally to be surcharged. Thus, a total of 800 sheets with a setting of 50 stamps were surcharged at the offices of the Royal Gazette in St. John's. To fit this cut sheet into the press, the top sheet margin had to be removed; the bottom margin was left intact thus saving bottom imprint. (Image1)

Newf. Spec. Nos. 70c; $6,800 as eight pairs.

THE LARGE RECORDED MULTIPLE OF THE 1¢ 1897 CARMINE ROSE ISSUE CONTAINING THE ONLY RECORDED EXAMPLES WITHOUT THE SECURITY HOLES.

Three sheets of 100 (300) red Victoria specimens were produced by the A.B.N.C. in October 1897. This strip of 20 is the largest piece known and also unique as the first eight stamps in the bottom row lack the 2mm punched security holes (the only ones known). It appears the SPECIMEN was applied mechanically but the punched holes manually, thus the errors. The specimens were stored for a century in the company's archives, then auctioned off in 1990.
