EVII I.R. OFFICIAL - 1d Scarlet and 0.5d Blue-Green, Two Used
£12.00
Two Edward VII stamps overprinted I.R. / OFFICIAL for the Inland Revenue: a one penny scarlet and a halfpenny blue-green, used. Two separate singles, not a joined pair.
What supports the price. Both overprints are legible, and the two commonest denominations of the series come together.
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.
