Hi all, found my second example on ebay, another unrecognized by seller.

I've added arrows by the Pick Up Points (PUP).

Once you learn the PUP, will make it easier to find one.

Not easy to find, but not impossible either, just have to know what to look for.

Found other one in a stamp dealers stock book, told him about it.

Very nice. That's one I always look for. I've found a few on ebay and in dealer stocks, unrecognized. They are almost always found off-center to the left or right, some egregiously so. Your example's centering isn't too bad; better than many I have seen.

I have two examples that I actually paid retail money for, both shown below. One because of the exceptional centering, and the other being the only reported example still on document.

The 2nd and 3rd issue 60-cent denominations are also good ones to hunt for unrecognized foreign entries.

Revenuecollector, Sir, looks like you have the cream of the crop. Centered and on document.

Do you have any insight about how many might have been made?

They are not easy to find, like you know well enough, but not impossible either. Maybe with a little luck in my back pocket, maybe find another one on document.

Thanks for showing your wonderful examples.

Lucky you. I look regularly, but did not see this one.

Try this, went on ebay keep your monitor turned off.

When at a stamp show, keep your eyes closed.

That way there will be more for me.

Sorry, just kidding.
