Inverted '1921' Stamps

How many of us have a CTO set of 195-208, 0127-0140 with the inverted '1921' overprint ? Only asking about the CTO ones.

    I am missing two stamps (10c and 30c) from having a complete CTO set of 195-208.  I have a complete CTO set of O127-40.  I have been trying to put together a non-CTO sets but it is proving to be a little difficult.

    Are you saying the whole set has the inverted '1921' ? What about #201 the 20c cent one ? Is that one inverted or upright ? If you can send a scan on that one. Thanks…Albert

    Since 201 is normally found with the date inverted, the stamp with the date NOT inverted is considered the invert.  I am sure Manfred has both regular and officials inverted pictured on this site.  If not, I have them on my site.

    Because no catalog mentions this I would like to add that the overprint on three of the four stamps in portrait format normally reads upwards, while for the 5c official (Scott O130) downward is normal.

    It isn't very likely that the whole sets exist both mint and CTO. But, who knows ... ? Perhaps together we can find out what inverts do exist in which condition?

    I will go ahead and list what I have below. If anyone has to add something, I would ask him to copy this list and paste it supplemented with his additions.
    I repeat: inverts are stamps that have inverted overprints with respect to the prevalent variety! For most stamps that means the "1921" is upside-down or reading downwards; exceptions are Scott #201 (20c regular) and Scott O130 (5c official).

    So, here is my list of inverts:
    regular mint:
    5c, 15c, 20c,
    regular CTO:
    1c, 2c, 3c, 5c, 15c, 25c, 30c, 50c, 75c, $1, $2, $5
    official mint:
    20c, $5
    official CTO:
    1c, 2c, 3c, 5c, 10c, 15c, 20c, 25c, 30c, 50c, 75c, $1, $2, $5

    I looked, and at this point, I have nothing to add to the list.
