I have several Chinese and 1 Formosa stamps that I need to have identified. Can you help me? I would like to know what the overprint says and if for, one of the stamps has a 20/20 overprint, does that mean the has no value?
The surcharged stamps in the order that they appear in your post have the following Scott numbers: 875A 825 837 843 838 836 And Vayolene is correct, the last one is Sc# 611.
To answer your question about the $20 on $20 surcharge, these surcharges from 1948 were a conversion to a new form of currency (gold yuan) as a way of stopping the hyperinflation in the country at the time. The characters at the right "#37329;#22291;" translate to gold yuan. So the $20 on $20 surcharge basically converted it to the new currency.
They are all china stamps issued in 1940s. Very common. The first a few are Gold Yuan overprints when the currency changed. The last one is the celebration of the Sino-Japanese war (or the World War II) victory.
