You'll never know exactly what it's worth until you try to sell it. However, you don't seem to want to sell it. If it was mine, I wouldn't sell it unless I had to. It's a very unique stamp.
You could ask the members here what they would pay for a similar example. Sometimes asking about value is discouraged here. For you, it seems that you're just curious. I am also curious. Don't make a new post. Just ask that question in a reply to my reply.
It was fun and I'm glad that you made your original post. I'll enjoy the memory. You can enjoy the stamp!
It's a very nice stamp, but it is not a "unique" stamp by any means. Double transfers are plate varieties, so every sheet printed off that plate would have an example of this particular double transfer in which ever position it occurs. Brookman estimated the total issue of this stamp at 910,000,000, so there were probably at least 25,000-35,000 sheets printed from which ever plate it was. It's like hunting for a scattered group of needles in an immense haystack.
You are probably correct. My use of "unique" is a semantic mistake. I just meant that something like this is not commonly found. It is "rare" or "scarce".
Your estimates put this as 1:20,000. That seems plausible. However, there are several DTs on it. Do your estimates take that into account? Each successive DT would further reduce the number produced.
I'm curious because I am a newbie to many aspects of stamp collecting. I don't mean to counter your argument. I only ask for elaboration.
