re: German 10pf with overprint 1923
International Stamp Dealers Day, Munich
Private overprint, probably for a Stamp Dealer bourse, on a 10pfg stamp that was already worthless by that time due to inflation. (First class letter postage for local delivery was already 40 Marks by that time).

That is interesting; I have several of those also. I never knew their origin. Now I know. Thanks Roy. I notice that this particular example was over printed in Munich. Is that correct? Question for Roy: Mine are over printed Berlin, and several other cities. Were the dealers limited to certain issues? Or was any stamp fair game?

And by November 1923 a sheet of those 40 Mark stamps was only worth wrapping up fish.
Stamps were being overprinted in billion Mark values.
