Gibbons lists this stamp only as a semi-postal with "+9,00" surcharged in black. As such it was for the War Orphan's Fund. It was issued in 1962, Algeria Gibbons #395a.
I don't know why Scott doesn't list the semi-postal stamp. Perhaps they consider it to be a local charity issue.
Neither Gibbons or Scott list the stamp without the charity surcharge.
on the base the stamp had a value of 1,00 D.A., and before its sell at post offices, it was decided of the surchage "+9a" in aid to the Algeria war orphans, but in any case classified like emission of charity.
Yvert & Tellier and Michel have classified this stamp as the first of independent Algeria stamps issue
Who knows what the thought process is in the dark minds of Scott and Gibbons?

The first Algeria stamp post independence

is not listed on Scott catalogue, is there any information on this missing ?
