Default Deutsches Reich with (250/400/800 Saufend) overprinted

Hi,
I have some stamps of Deutsches Reich ones with (250/400/800 Saufend), even (2 Millionen)

overprinted on them. Could anybody has any idea about history behind such stamps and how much
they are worth. Any pointer to information related to such stamps would be really beneficial.
The photo is attached here for viewing.

Thanks

Hi there!

They are known as the German Hyper-Inflation Issues...

I have a collection of these issues. They are great for
history studies, but most are not of great value - a few
Pounds/Dollars for a cover like this.

Try and get a copy of the Michel Deutschland Catalogue
for a comprehensive list of these stamps - issued between
1922-1924.

("Saufend" is actually 'Tausend', in a fancy font!).

David.
