461	O	R85ce	#R85ce, $3.00 Charter Party, printed on both sides, an incredibly rare example of this striking error, showing a complete second impression on the reverse, light 1867 ms. cancel on face, mild horizontal crease, otherwise fine; in our opinion quite undercataloged in Scott considering its infrequent appearance at auction; an important error for the First Issue revenue specialist.

462	O	R85cg	#R85cg, $3.00 Charter Party, impression of #RS208 on back, two partial clear impressions of the private die stamp on reverse, front with 1865 ms. cancel, small thin and crease in one corner, otherwise fine.Any printed on both sides error of the First Issue revenue stamps is rare. To find one printed on back with a different stamp is simply amazing. But to find one printed on back from a completely different issue is a unique event. In fact, this is the only example of this error that we can find any record of. The Scott catalog value will undoubtedly prove far too conservative considering this stamp's probable unique status and its extreme desirability.An exciting chance to own one of the most unusual and visually striking revenue errors in existence.
