I'm trying to find a catalog value or value estimate of this corner block of 9 with one stamp having a "1895" instead of "1859" overprint error. Thank you.






Sorry for the slightly blurry pics.

Why can't I see those dates, I see what looks like 1853 and 1963.

Where are the 1859 and 1895 or am I blind.

The overprint should read, "1853 - 1859 - 1963." I know it's a little difficult to see in the pictures I posted.

The 1895 is in the center between 1853 and 1863, in place of 1859.

I see a date, it is buried behind the body but almost impossible to read, my apologies.

No big deal there are a number of surcharge varieties and errors exist in this set and doesn't seem to carry much dollar value to collectors .

The variety in R3/3 (1895 for 1859) SG273a catalogues at GBP3.00, so adding a premium for positional multiple I'd say $5 for the block in unmounted condition.
