Chinese Local Posts: Shanghai, 1893, Coat of Arms litho, 2 orange vermilion, partial inverted print at bottom Chan LS152 var. Scott 155 var, a fascinating, how did that happen? variety; the basic stamp flawlessly printed with great color on clean paper, and then the top labels Shanghai and part of the double arc below were kiss-printed inverted at the bottom of the TWO CENTS label; the sheet clearly brushed against the lithography stone after the initial printing, but the inversion is something of a mystery, o.g., hinged, Very Fine, a great item.
