F/VF mint blocks of the 1899 printing "2 CENTS" surcharges on 3c carmine Queen Victoria "Leaf" and "Numeral" issues. The overprinted "Leaf" (#87) block is the "Narrow Spacing" variety but as some of the perfs have separated, is conservatively counted only as 6 mint NH stamps only. The sheet margin block of 9 of the "Numeral" (#88) has one Hinged stamp (center stamp at top), with the other 8 perfect OG NH. The entire group has been valued by basic Scott. 2022 Scott Classic US$962.50=
