UNTEA Overprints #1a-19a, 1b/9b and 1c, 5c. VF mint NH group of the Second, Third and Fourth Printings of the 1962 UNTEA overprints on the stamps of Netherlands New Guinea, consisting of the complete second printing (Haarlem), nearly complete third (West New Guinea) printing and complete fourth (West New Guinea) printing. The second printing can be distinguished by the top of the "N" being slightly higher than the "U" and the concave base of the "T". The third printing measures 14mm wide (missing only #7b, the 15c value to be complete) and the fourth printing measures 19mm wide (only two values with this overprint, #1c and #5c, the 1c and 10c values) All very short-lived provisionals, produced by the United Nations Temporary Executive Authority during the transition from Dutch to Indonesian administration. Increasingly elusive provisional issues, all properly identified for the various printings. 2021 Scott US Specialized US$345.60 =
