Michel also offers additional information (i.e. page mapping, postmarks, etc.). We will list Scott numbers where possible; however read the description, as one Scott number may describe as many as 20 different stamps. We price stamps in several categories, and individual stamps of all conditions may not be in stock. Please list second choices, if they are acceptable to you. Example – if you prefer mint never hinged, but will accept mint hinged; please make this known in your order. Your primary selection will be filled, if available. Pricing categories are: (A) mint never hinged, (B) mint hinged, (C) unused (mint, but no gum), (D) used, (E) used with recognizable postmark, (F) used on piece (piece does not mean cover). Some high value stamps may be listed in sets only. First
issue – 20 February 1920 (Scott numbers 1-9,
Michel numbers 1-9)

20 pfennig; (C) 10 pfennig over 20 pfennig; and (D) 50 pfennig over 5 Mark.
Michel states that the 5 pfennig over 15 pfennig was done in error, and never
authorized by the Inter-Allied Commission; thus Michel does not recognize
this value. Scott does recognize the 5 over 15 and assigned it number 10.
According to Michel, there are 7 variations each of the 5 over 15 and 5 over
20 revaluations; 6 variations of the 10 over 20; and 9 variations of the 50
over 5 mark. We will list the stamps according to the Michel variations. Stock
on the 50 pfennig over 5 mark is quite limited. We may not have stock on
these at any given time. This is true of other of the scarcer variations.
Always check before ordering.

February 1920 The first issue of official stamps (Scott O1-O31) were hand-stamped overprints of German stamps of 1905-1920. These are quite rare, very expensive, and many EXPERTISED forgeries exist (which are collectable). We have a good inventory of expertised stamps from this series. We believe the ones we have, even though expertised, are forgeries. We are not listing these items here, however, they are for sale; write. The second issue of official stamps (Scott O32-O38) were offiical stamps of Prussia (District 21) overprinted C.G.H.S. (Commission de Gouverment Haute Silesie) These stamps each have 20 different variations of the overprint as follows: Type I - single overprint, vertical, reading down Type II - single overprint, vertical, reading up Type III - single overprint, horizontal, normal Type IV - single overprint, horizontal, inverted Type V - double overprint, vertical, both reading down Type VI - double overprint, vertical, both reading up Type VII - double overprint, vertical, left reading down, right reading up Type VIII - double overprint, vertical, left reading up, right reading down Type IX - double overprint, horizontal, both normal Type X - double overprint, horizontal, both inverted Type XI - double overprint, horizontal, top normal, bottom inverted Type XII - double overprint, horizontal, top inverted, bottom normal Type XIII – double overprint, horizontal normal, vertical reading down Type XIV - double overprint, horizontal inverted, vertical reading down Type XV - double overprint, horizontal normal, vertical reading up Type XVI - double overprint, horizontal inverted, vertical reading up Type XVII – single overprint, reading upper left to lower right Type XVIII – single overprint, inverted, reading lower right to upper left Type XIX - single overprint, reading lower left to upper right Type XX - single overprint, inverted, reading upper right to lower left The stamps pictured and prices are for the type III (single overprint, horizontal, normal). We have a good selection of the various overprints. If you collect these by type; write with your wants. Number
