J.S.C.A. 105 var.), top right corner margin block of 20, a striking error, the surcharge slanted across bottom left five stamps and missing from all others, o.g., some never hinged / some hinged; hinge remnants in selvage and on position 16, all others never hinged, Very Fine,

Zirkle notes, "Where the overprint is misplaced on a slant, thus sometimes missing stamps completely, a pair, block of 4 or piece showing adjacent stamps, one without overprint, is extremely hard to find." (Image1) (Image2)
