SAINT LUCIA 1967 (MNH) $2.50 QUEEN ELIZABETH II 'STATEHOOD' SINGLES
$2.50 Queen Elizabeth II single with 'STATEHOOD 1st MARCH 1967' overprint in red and a top marginal example with overprint in black. Both scarce. Just 8,000 overprinted in red and 300 in black. Extremely difficult and missing from most collections. Fresh and fine. Mint never hinged. Offered with Diena certificte. SG210var; SC195var; LCA471/2
Note: although prepared for issue, the $2.50 with red or black 'STATEHOOD 1st MARCH 1967' overprint were not initially available over post office counters together with the rest of the overprinted series. However, both were later used for franking purposes
