1917, ($6.00) Ty. A Surcharge on $3.00 Orange on Blue, 1hhd., No. REA111, Beer (REA127; Priester 147A). Described in our "Scarsdale" sale as Priester Type 82 surcharge, after close examination the lettering appears to be a hybrid of serif and sans-serif type that is unlisted in the Priester book with no serifs on the "A" but having them on the "C" and "T", large and even margins, unused (no gum), tiny thin speck, Very Fine, only 22 are recorded in the Priester census but this previously unrecognized surcharge type may well be unique, ex "Scarsdale", with 2012 P.F. certificate as surcharge Type 82
