To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The " Monthly Circular " of July, i885, records a variety of Type I. with the last two letters of the surcharge missing TIC instead of TICAL. Mr. Holland lists type 3 with inverted surcharge, double sur- charge (both red), double surcharge (one red and one black), and with figure i inverted. Of type 4 he gives a double sur- charge, and a variety from which the serif of the numeral is missing. Mr. Poole has discovered five types of the surcharges which he has measured as follows: — i., surcharge... 14mm. long, 3imm. high; 3, i3iX3fmm. ; 3, i6X3imm. ; 4, iz^Xzfmm.; 5, i3Xz|mm. Counterfeit Overprints. Counterfeits of these overprints are numerous. Mr. Holland mentions one in which the value is spelt Ticel another of type i in which the surcharge measures i6Jnjm. from the left end of the base of the figure i to the right end of the base of the letter L, while the original measures only 14mm., and the letters of the surcharge are much thinner and higher. Those stamps, he adds, having a surcharge that appears to be printed with a glac6 or varnishy look are generally regarded as forgeries.
