Here is a stamp i got years ago. The APS certificate that came with it says it's a #90 postally used. But i think someone made a error. As you can see from the photo the 'O S' is printed on it not handstamped. Any ideas ? Maybe it should be listed as #77a. Any ideas ?

I took another look at the stamp. Its hard to tell but to me the cancel is both over the ORDINARY and the Red 'S' in 'O S'. That's the best i can do. Any more ideas ?
It may not be listed by any of the major catalogs, but the 1894 'O S' issue of the 32c greenish blue with ORDINARY overprint is listed by Cockrill in booklet no. 25 (see page 21).
Albert, you sent me a scan of your stamp years ago, and ever since it is listed as 77A on my homepage, following Scott's naming scheme.
the "prices realized" you sent out made me take another look at the Lockard sale. Check out lot #60:
