Description
1883 80ct on 25r bright rose surcharge Type T108, large part o.g., showing inverted 's' in '80 cents' on lower half. Minor creasing and a little offsetting on the reverse at the base, still fine and very scarce. 2400 of the basic stamp printed, which likely means that 60 of the variety originally existed, many of which will have been used and lost. The discovery example, ex Hiscocks. SG 113a, £375
