• The estimate of 1,000,000 was made by Hennan, a respected authority. After posting, I made a tally of 50c NA overprinted stamps using Kohl, Montes, Sellers, etc. and came up with a total of 604.100. Could not find, or missed, quantities overprint…

• Your 10c blue with printing offset is special because there is a gutter on the right. The gutter separated panes on the sheet. The 10c is perhaps the one most common with printing offset. Some values are not known with printing offset. There are…
