re: Nicaragua Overprints

Here's what I can find.

1924 - Scott 425 issued. No OP. Color is bistre brown.

1929 - Scott 499 issued. #499 is #425 with Correos 1928 (in two lines) overprinted in Violet.

1931 - Scott 536 issued. #536 is #499 with $ 0.02 (can't make the symbol - it's like what you have), a bar, and 1931 (in three lines) surcharged.

Here's where the fun begins. My note says the surcharge is in black AND red - not black OR red, meaning there should be two colors in the 1931 surcharge. It goes on to show four varieties - Red surcharge omitted, Red surcharge double, Red surcharge inverted, and Red surcharge double, one inverted.

Seems like there were only two issues with OP, but one of those had two colors. But I don't see any red on what you showed.

It is #536 with the 2c surcharge in brown, as noted in the Scott Specialized 1840-1940 catalogue.

It is not a "triple overprint". I think he is counting the number of different overprints.

The Scott Spec catalog has a clear picture of the red/black overprint and has a note that "surcharge exists in brown".
