2c on 3c Dark Violet, Die 146(H), Violet Surcharge Ty. 7, Full Corner (U480; UPSS 3038). Unused, 43 x 43mm, rich colors

VERY FINE AND RARE FULL CORNER OF THE 2-CENT ON 3-CENT VIOLET ON WHITE, WITH VIOLET SURCHARGE ISSUED AT DAYTONA, FLORIDA.

The Type 7 surcharge was a handstamp applied at Daytona, Florida, on envelopes that had been sent to Jacksonville for revaluing and were either poorly done or skipped. Some examples show clear partial Type 4 overprints (see Sale 1217, lot 1355 for a cut square) and some show a trace or none at all, like the full corner offered here. It is reported that only 29 were surcharged.

With 1998 P.F. certificate
