Description: ***Title*** *Pair of 2, Gold Coast Overprint Stamps, Featuring Ghana's (1957) Independence, Circa 1952-1954* ***Brief Description***The stamps are considered 'FINE' by my standards. The margins are offset ever so slightly, but are still visibleThere is an extended bow to the stamp as well, but not too, too bad. There are 'NO' hinge marks present at this time.The overall quality and design aesthetic is outstanding. A rare find, indeed This is also a pair of 2 stamps with 'NO' numbers present. The colors are bold, the picture is clear and the typography is excellent.A must have for any collector. **Historical Significance**In May of 1956, Kwame Nkrumah's Gold Coast Government issued a white paper with proposals for Gold Coast's independence.On the 3rd of August, 1956, the Gold Coast assembly adopted the resolution demanding independence from Britain.The British Government would eventually agree, but only if the majority of the Gold Coast legislature agreed as well.In the 1956, the Gold Coast legislature finally agreed, and in 1957 Ghana became an independent state.These stamps commemorate that event with a style that is both symbolic and conceptual.A must have for any collector. *For Your Consideration*I’m neither an expert grader nor accomplished philatelist, and my opinions, though justified, may not represent the expertise of a third party grader or certified assistant.
