One of the four philatelic gems of the Republic of China, the 3¢ blue-green Junk stamp is another exciting offering. It was issued in 1915 and was the first set of stamps printed in Peking. In 1922, the same stamps were surcharged in red to produce 2¢-on-3¢ stamps. A rare variety of this stamp with an inverted surcharge will be offered during the auction.
