FINE. AN INCREDIBLY RARE 1898 POSTAGE DUE PROVISIONAL USE ON COVER PAYING THE DOUBLED (PENALTY) SOLDER'S RATE.
Unused examples of this stamp are quite common and falsely lead collectors into believing genuine uses are as well. These stamps were surcharged as there were no stamps to cover the 3m Solider's rate. Therefore, the rarity is due to the fact that these were used by soldiers sending letters home, often to small Egyptian towns with most lost to collectors. Many of the known examples suffer cover faults. (Image)
