Germany issued this set of Germania overprints on 1 October 1905. The overprints saw a switch to stamps with a "Deutsches Reich" imprint rather than the previous "REICHSPOST".
The underlying stamps are Germany MiNr. 69 b - 77, MiNr. 78 A - 81 A a, and MiNr. 82 A.
Strongly shifted overprints exist on the 10 Centimos and 30 Centimos overprints. To be properly classified as a strongly shifted overprint, the overprint should be shifted such that the overprint is off the edge of the stamp and, depending on the column the stamp was in on the sheet, a portion of the adjoining stamp’s overprint may also be visible.
Overprint shifted strongly in the horizontal
MiNr. 23 I
MiNr. 25 I
A strongly shifted overprint also exists on the 3 Peseta 75 Centimos overprint. Michel lists two varieties of this error, depending on whether the stamp was in the first column of the sheet or columns 2-4.
Stamps from columns 2-4 will show traces of overprint from the adjoining stamp in the left perforations, while stamps from column 1 will not.
Overprint shifted strongly in the horizontal
MiNr. 32 B I
MiNr. 32 B II
In 1902, the Reichsdruckerei (Reich Printing Office) began printing in the margins of stamp sheets the internal order number under which the stamps were printed. This order number, or Hausauftragsnummer (HAN), varied in location, typically being found in the right or bottom margin.
Because the stamps of this set were overprinted, they can be found with two HAN – the HAN of the original printing order for the underlying Germania issues (HAN U), and the HAN of the order applying the overprint (HAN A).
