1c Post Office, “Sepcimen” Error (Scott O47Sa). Without gum as issued, intense shade, unusually fresh FINE. A SOUND AND UNUSUALLY PRISTINE EXAMPLE OF THE ONE-CENT POST OFFICE DEPARTMENT “SEPCIMEN” ERROR. With a sold quantity of 6,015, it is possible that 60 “Sepcimen” errors were released, but we do not know how the sheets were divided and sold, nor do we know if the entire print run had the error in Position 21.

1c Post Office, Specimen Ovpt., Inverted Ovpt. (Scott O47Sb). Without gum as issued, wide margins and well-centered VERY FINE AND CHOICE. AN OUTSTANDING EXAMPLE OF THE RARE INVERTED “SPECIMEN” OVERPRINT ON THE ONE-CENT POST OFFICE SPECIAL PRINTING. THIS IS THE ONLY INVERT ERROR AMONG THE SPECIAL PRINTINGS. Although the 1c Post Office stamps were printed from a 200-subject plate, the sheets were divided into panes of 100 before overprinting. Therefore, only 100 of the inverted “Specimen” overprints could have been produced, and we do not know how many were sold. Only a small fraction of the number printed has been located.
