The King Michael definitives are a group of stamps that I have tended to pass over whenever I look at classic Romania stamps. I have never been fond of the colors or design particularly and they are pretty common stamps. I took a pretty good look at what I have over the last couple of days, however, and realized the series has a fair amount of complexity including different sizes, a few watermarked and not, typographed vs. photogravure, different perfs and overprints.
The stamps below were overprinted in 1930 on the occasion of King Carol II's accession to the throne. The overprint reads 8 IUNIE 1930 but I noticed on these two stamps, the 10 lei and especially the 3 lei, that the overprint seems to be doubled. I checked out this series of stamps on romaniastamps.com and there is no mention of a double overprint strike but I thought it was interesting nonetheless. Let me know if any of you think this is something other than what I think it is.
