Number of arachnid related stamps in issue: 1/10
This is the exact same series as in 1984, but they were overprinted with a surcharge.
I have searched for this issue for ever. Used to be impossible to find as MNH. I am still missing one stamp of this series, there is only one none and it has been used.
This overprint series is like a can of worms. There are so many variants created by overprinting errors. I have been lucky enough to find many of these variants.
Only the Stanley Gibbon catalog lists these special variants. Even in that catalog, they do not list all the variants, so I had to "invent" some codes to show them all.
Main two variants:
 |
| Stanley Gibbon #: 1246m (variant 436 / seriffed "2") |
 |
| Stanley Gibbon #: 1246m (variant 436a / sans-serif "2") |
Single inverted variants:
 |
| Stanley Gibbon #: 1246ma (1) (variant 436 / seriffed "2") surcharge inverted |
 |
| Stanley Gibbon #: 1246ma (2) (variant 436 / seriffed "2") surcharge inverted variant B |
 |
| Stanley Gibbon #: 1246ma (variant 436a / sans-serif "2") surcharge inverted variant A |
Double overprint variants:
 |
| Stanley Gibbon #: 1246mb (variant 436 / seriffed "2") surcharge double |
 |
| Stanley Gibbon #: 1246mba (1) (variant 436 / seriffed "2") surcharge double / one inverted |
 |
| Stanley Gibbon #: 1246mba (2) (variant 436a / sans-serif "2") surcharge double / one inverted |
 |
| Stanley Gibbon #: 1246mba (3) surcharge double / one inverted one variant 436 and one 436a |
Space between "2" and "0" variant:
 |
| Stanley Gibbon #: 1246mi space between "C20" and "00" |
Small "0" in surcharge variant:
 |
| Stanley Gibbon #: 1246mj small "0" in surcharge |
Missing "2" variants:
 |
| Stanley Gibbon #: 1246 x0 missing "2" |
 |
| Stanley Gibbon #: 1246 x0 missing "2" / inverted surcharge |
**Albino variant: this is a surcharge strike, but without ink, so the stamp appears embossed. Impossible to show on a scan.
 |
| Stanley Gibbon #: 1246alb surcharge albino |
Pairs:
 |
| Stanley Gibbon #: 1246mb (variant 436 / seriffed "2") surcharge double / diagonal shift |
 |
| Stanley Gibbon #: 1246 one variant 436 and one 436a |
C50.00 overprint (very rare)
 |
| Stanley Gibbon #: 1254 |
 |
| Stanley Gibbon #: 1254 missing "." |
