Lot 1
o
Cameroons, 1915, ½d on 5pf green, variety surcharge double (SG B2b), cancelled by c.d.s. Two insignificant pinholes. Very Fine for this. An extremely rare and elusive stamp. Illustrated in Gibbs, page 202. Michel 2DD.
SG £800 ($1,020)
Provenance: Robert M. Gibbs
Although one sheet of one hundred stamps was believed to have been doubly surcharged, Gibbs surmised that the vast majority of these stamps must have been destroyed or lost, since he had encountered only four or five used examples of this variety, all of which were in poor condition. No unused examples have been recorded.
