THE LOT COMPRISES A FINE UNMOUNTED MINT PAIR OF AN UNLISTED 2010 STYLE NARROW OVERPRINT SETTING 40c ON 6c xxx. THE STAMP IS A NEW ONE ON ME AND WILL NO DOUBT TURN OUT TO BE ANOTHER PARTICULARLY HARD STAMP TO FIND. ALL THE 6c SHEETS HAD REPORTEDLY BEEN USED UP LONG BEFORE THE 40c OVERPRINTS STARTED! HOW MUCH IS IT WORTH, WELL THAT IS A $64 QUESTION SO I'LL START IT AT A VERY MODEST $64! I would recommend that any interested collectors read the excellent book by Bryan Jones covering the first four years of these issues (2006 - 2009). It is published by the Pacific islands Study Circle (PISC), as is the quarterly magazine Pacifica which is another excellent source of information. > _____________________________ I N F O R M A T I O N _____________________________ N.B. THESE STAMPS WILL BE SENT TO THE WINNING BIDDER DIRECT FROM FIJI BY REGISTERED AIRMAIL. THIS MEANS THAT YOU WILL HAVE AN ATTRACTIVE COVER BEARING COLOURFUL FIJIAN STAMPS AS A BONUS. REFERENCE TO MY FEEDBACK WILL SEE SEVERAL MESSAGES OF APPRECIATION JUST FOR THE COVERS BUYERS RECEIVE THEIR STAMPS IN ! AS A GUIDE REGISTERED AIRMAIL FROM FIJI TO THE UK NORMALLY TAKES AROUND 10 TO 14 DAYS. HOWEVER, OCCASIONALLY IT IS SLIGHTLY FASTER AND SOMETIMES IT IS SLIGHTLY SLOWER. I HAVE ENQUIRED WITH POST FIJI AND THEY EXPLAIN THAT THE ROUTE THE MAIL TAKES IS OUTSIDE THEIR CONTROL ONCE IT HAS LEFT FIJI. IN THIS AGE OF HIGH ANTI-TERRORISM ALERT STATUS, SOME COUNTRIES THAT THE MAIL TRANSITS SEEM TO SUBJECT INTERNATIONAL MAIL TO QUITE INTENSE SECURITY AND THIS CAN LEAD TO SLIGHT DELAYS. As a result, this means that a registered airmail packet might be as much as 4 or 5 weeks in transit on rare occasions. ALL LOTS WILL BE WELL PACKED BEFORE SENDING. Stamps will be removed from the album pages or display sheets before mailing to reduce postage costs. Save on postage when you purchase more than one lot. I will not do local pickup.
