China 1897 Revenue Surcharge 2c. on 3c. red, [13] showing variety incomplete characters at top unused without gum. An unusual and interesting variety. Photo Estimate HK$ 25,000-30,000 Note that a very similar variety was offered for sale in a recent China Guardian auction (November 2001). This example was also from position [13], but from a different sheet, suggesting that this was caused by a temporary fault on the printing plate of this cliché
