Hi All,

I found these Zanzibar 1963 Freedom From Hunger stamps recently and noticed it has a "Jamhuri" overprint. Although Gibbons makes a note of it in their commonwealth catalogue they do not give a value. Could they be fakes? Any information about these stamps would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks
James

re: Zanzibar Overprint Question

Scott states that the overprint on this stamp was unofficial.

re: Zanzibar Overprint Question

Very high magnification might allow you to see overprint ink laying over the cancellation or, hopefully, vice versa.

Cheers,
