2nd issue.
In August 1922, a set of six RSFSR stamps titled "Philately for Children" was issued. A black typographic overprint reading "RSFSR / Philately for Children / 19-8-22" was applied to standard postage stamps of Imperial Russia from 1909–1917. The text was arranged vertically from top to bottom in three lines.
Stamps of this issue were sold at the Moscow Main Post Office for only one day, August 19, 1922, at the counter of the Authorized Representative for Philately and Bond Paper, at a rate where 1 kopek of face value equaled 50,000 rubles. Of this amount, 10,000 rubles constituted the postal fee, and 40,000 rubles were allocated to the fund for eliminating child homelessness. At first, the stamps were sold in sets of six; later, due to the limited quantity of 1-kopek stamps, they were sold in incomplete sets—one 1-kopek stamp for every 50 incomplete sets (2–10 kopeks).
The stamps were in postal use for only one day—August 19, 1922. On that day at the Moscow post office, they were affixed to specially prepared postal stationery. They were cancelled with a special postmark: "Moscow / 19-VIII-1922 / Philately Day". This postmark was used only to cancel stamps of this issue. According to official data, the next day, August 20, 1922, it was filed and transferred to the communications museum (at that time, the People’s Commissariat of Posts and Telegraphs).
The second printing was prepared in the same year, 1922 (according to some sources, between August and October), on the initiative of the Authorized Representative for Philately and Bond Paper, F. Chuchin, due to a large number of orders for stamps of this issue from foreign and domestic philatelic firms and collectors. The disassembled overprint forme was reassembled using the same typographic typeface, but with slight differences in layout. Overprints were made on three stamps: 1 kopek perforated, 1 kopek imperforate, and 2 kopeks.
Stamps of the second issue differed primarily in the black color of the overprint. The impression is neater, the ink is well applied to the forme. Visually, the letters appear thinner than on the stamps of the first issue.
The exact number of stamps of the second issue is unknown.
An overprint is known on a blue 7-kopek stamp of Imperial Russia. This overprint was produced by V. Sanchov (the first editor of the journal "Soviet Philately"), who was responsible for organizing Philately Day, using the original forme during the production of the first issue of stamps. The exact print run is unknown; according to V. Sanchov, it amounted to 125 copies. The issue was not approved by the leadership of the Administration for Philately and Bond Paper, and the release of the 7-kopek stamp with the overprint was declared illegal by F. Chuchin. The stamp did not enter postal circulation. V. Sanchov was removed from his editor’s post and prosecuted. Most of the print run of the 7-kopek stamp was confiscated and destroyed.
