inherited this stamp with world collection. Was wondering if this is an overprint stamp with the cross filled in? Has anyone seen this before? The back of the stamp image does not match the front when viewed holding up to a light. Thanks.

The cross appears to have been filled in with a felt-tip pen by a bored child.

Well at least I now know the stamp isn't special. I actually thought the same thing but wanted to be sure. Thank you
