China, 1897, Small 4¢ on 3¢ Red Revenue, position 12. Expertly regummed, rich bright color and exceptionally fresh, F.-V.F., a stunning example of this Red Revenue rarity.
Scott No. 81; $75,000.

A MARVELOUS MINT ORIGINAL GUM EXAMPLE OF THE 1897 4¢ ON 3¢ SMALL SURCHARGE RED REVENUE ISSUE - A GREAT CHINESE EMPIRE RARITY.

The 4¢ Small Surcharge Red Revenue was the very first of the 3¢ Red Revenues produced by Inspectorate General of Customs Statistical Department in Shanghai. Only two sheets of 100 where produced with 25 of these additionally surcharged in violet which accounts for the double surcharge variety (Scott 81a) leaving only 175 normally produced. It is believed after the small production of these small 4¢ surcharges were produced, the production was stopped and the larger sans-serif "4" replaced this smaller version. (Image1)
