I have a U.S. 1893 10c S.C. #237 with a double transfer at bottom... Is the catalog value for this stamp really $13.50? It's just hard for me to believe it's that low... but I'm new to collecting. Yes, this stamp has seen better days ;)
The value is low because it was a common stamp for the era with 16.5 million printed. It saw widespread use to pay the combined first-class rate and registered mail rate, which is why yours has a New York registry cancel. You can buy these at retail for $1-$5.
Here is a better image of the double transfer, you can see a faint line above and below "Presenting Natives". There is also evidence within the lettering and right hand scroll.
What do you think - if this is the only one with this double transfer - is it $13.50?
