Being unfamiliar with Columbian stamps, I wonder if this is an overprint and not a cancel? An overprint usually changes the value of a stamp, or changes it's intended purpose. As the stamps in your San Marino post do.
It's a 1945 overprint of a 1939 Colombian issue, reflecting the end of WWII and depicting Stalin, Roosevelt and Churchill. SG doesn't list an inverted version, unfortunately.
Yes there was three different valued stamps with the overprint but in different colors. Then this one was off to the side labeled "inverted" and after going crosseyed looking through websites and books I thought I would just throw the question out there for the forum to possibly help with! Thank you for the info!
very interesting. I will have to take a closer look at this in the morning. The entire collection was authenticated though and I have many notarized documents stating that. But that doesn't mean that this one wasn't slipped in on that page by accident. I will report back in the morning on it. Thanks!
