1927 Overprints

The fifth emission of overprints was in February, 1927. 160,000 of the 20c brown Ulua bridge were released, most with the A surcharge and over 6000 with the artfully generated B surcharge. 140,000 of the 15c violet and 115,000 of the 20c brown Morazán were released with only the A surcharge.

1927 Morazán Surcharges

Because they were "mistakenly" placed within the stack of violet stamps a few sheets of the 6c on 15c blue were "released."
