NEWFOUNDLAND 250 1939 2 CENTS PROVISIONAL OVERPRINT ON 5c ROYAL VISIT ISSUE MPH

Description: NEWFOUNDLAND 250 1939 2 CENTS PROVISIONAL ON 5c ROYAL VISIT ISSUE MPH Please read the TERMS OF SALE below prior to bidding. BID WITH CONFIDENCE - SATISFACTION GUARANTEED NEWFOUNDLAND 250 1939 2 CENTS PROVISIONAL ON 5c ROYAL VISIT ISSUE MPH Provisional issue of the five cent, violet blue, 'ROYAL VISIT' issue of 1939 commemorating the visit to Newfoundland of Queen Elizabeth and King George VI in June of 1939. Printed by Bradbury, Wilkinson and Company of London, England on relatively stiff, crisp whitish wove paper with criss-crossing mesh, off-white gum. Very shortly after the royal visit, left over sheets of the 5c commemorative stamp were overprinted '2 CENTS' and '4 CENTS' in red in two lines for use as provisionals when the threat of German U-Boats in the Atlantic delayed shipments of 2c and 4c stamps from London. Both overprints have small triangles of the same color obliterating the orginal stamp's numerical value. Differences in the printing quality of the overprint created a number of interesting serif and lettering varieties that are highly sought after by collectors. Excellent color and appearance. Approximately 30% of original gum disturbed by previous hinging. Sound, fault-free example of this Newfoundland stamp. Stamps shown are good representatives of those that are available. If the stamps received fail to meet expectations, they may be returned for a replacement or full refund.
