EVII BOARD OF EDUCATION 0.5d Blue-Green (SG O83 type)
£84.00
Edward VII 1902 halfpenny blue-green with the three-line BOARD / OF / EDUCATION overprint, used.
What supports the price. Board of Education is one of the scarcer Edward VII Official overprints. The overprint here reads cleanly in sans-serif capitals. A heavy black cancel covers part of the first word.
This group of overprints, SG O78 to O83, is a documented forgery family, which is why it is offered uncertified at the price it is.
Forgery warning. British Official overprints are among the most heavily forged areas of the hobby, and forged overprints on genuine common stamps are widespread. This overprint has not been authenticated and cannot be judged from a scan. It is offered uncertified, and the price reflects that. Have it certified before relying on the attribution.
