654 ng Image1918, ($60.00) Ty. C Surcharge on $25.00 Black on Blue, 10bbl., No. REA130c, Beer (REA150a; Priester 180aA). Priester Type 169 surcharge, entire stamp, unused (no gum), three wide margins, just in at left, couple light creases, couple of small staple holes at top

FINE APPEARANCE. A RARE EXAMPLE OF THE ENTIRE STAMP OF THE 1918 PROVISIONAL ISSUE.

Only five examples of the entire stamp are recorded in the Priester census. These were used to pay tax on beer in vats drawn off for bottling. The center portion was punched out by the revenue collector and the brewer received the center portion as a receipt. The government retained the rest of the stamp and presumably destroyed them, so very few are intact.
