The listing, 1898 Checks, Internal Revenue Overprint Stamps has ended.
2 checks, both dated 1898 with I. R. overprint on the stamps. See photos for confident bidding!
Overprints are used by postal agencies to change the value or purpose of a stamp or even to commemorate an event. In the case of the green stamp, the overprint was used to change the stamp's purpose from postage to a tax stamp ("I.R." means "Internal Revenue").
