Plate Flaw 4. Mint and used stamps with overprint position 4 comprising settings IA 2ch, 9ch, 24ch and 10kr mint, setting IB 24ch mint, setting IIA 1ch used, also a very faulty mint 10ch from setting IIIA, and setting IB 2ch mint with overprint position 6. This flaw appears on sheet positions 24, 29, 74 and 79, the position 4 overprints therefore being stamps 24 or 74; the rare anomalous position 6 overprint proves that some overprints must...

Setting IIA, 6ch used (position 8) with the major variety overprint double, a recent discovery listed but unpriced by S.G., a little soiled and small bend at lower right corner, still an extremely rare stamp. Double overprints are recorded on the 6ch, 9ch and 1kr values, the 1kr priced at £10,000 by S.G.; this 6ch double variety is undoubtedly rarer than the 1kr double variety. With B.P.A Certificate (2015). S.G. 5b, unpriced. Photo...
