Scott $3,850
Expertization: with 2006 P.S.E. certificate.
The example in the Markovits sale (MBI sale 273, Feb. 2004) was listed as unique. This stamp appeared a couple years later and is the only other example, of which we are aware, with a double overprint. It is far better centered than the Markovits example.
