Two Postage Stamps of Edward the 8th with Overprint Errors
The postage stamps illustrated below are Edward the 8th definitives for use abroad. These particular stamps were for use in Morocco and were normally overprinted with the geographical location and the equivalent value in local currency. In the two error stamps illustrated the location is overprinted but the equivalent value is omitted. The stamps are shown with the normal overprint for comparison.
