For whatever reason, I am attracted to overprints and bisects. I assume this was a common error and the overprint has shifted. Would have liked have the pair.  |

What I collect: I collect world wide up to 1965 with several specialty albums added due to volume of material I have acquired. At this point I am focused on Canada and British America. I am always on the lookout for stamps and covers with postmarks from communities in Queens County, Nova Scotia. I do list various goods including stamps occasionally on eBay as hdm50

Based on my Scott 2000 Classic Specialized Catalogue it would appear shifts of the overprint are a known thing with no special value given at that time. My own copy is normal One Penny but centred to the right like yours but complete.  |

Scott now prices some of them. In the 2018 Scott Standard:
#55 unused & used at $24 and $21, respectively (note used price is italicized)
#55c unused at $1800
#55d used at $5500

Hello, another overprint from Turks. This does look like a double overprint to me, is this right?

To my eyes sudbury12000 I would consider your stamp to be a double overprint. I have a 1919 similar war tax almost as faint as yours and I consider it a double overprint. I have a normal one mounted above it.  |
