Expert Opinions needed on a T206 S.C. Unusual Overprint
 

Expert opinions needed...

At 1st galnce I thought someone wrote a 3 over the 1 on this Red Dooin card, then I zoomed in, and, I don't know, it looks to me like a factory stamped 3???, I know it is different from the other 3 (from a Jake Pfeister card), but then again, the bottom of the 5's are different too... Could this be some kind factory correction? I believe this card came in the 150 subjects also... Any info on it would be very much appreciated.
thanks!

It appears to me that someone wrote "3" in over the "1" in 150 subjects.

And an ugly three at that. looks like it's written over the one the red looks slightly different

someone absolutely wrote the 3 in red ink over the top of the 1.

Certainly not an expert, but the font gives it away.
Look at the three below and compare it.
And you can also see the "1" underneath clearly.

Definitely a handwritten "3"

Weird that it looks to be the EXACT same color as the original ink, though :confused:

I agree with the consensus thus far. Hand written/drawn. Pretty cool though.

No offense, but I don't think it looks exactly the same at all. It's red, but to me there is clearly a difference between the two reds...subtle, sure, but there's two shades present.

This fellow wasn't quite as good :)
