2003, 50c Ailsa Mountains, Silver fern leaf overprint, Recalled design (Scott 1861 var.), o.g., never hinged, Very Fine. Accompanied by a 2003 Campbell Paterson letter of explanation and provenance, noting that this stamp is from what they believe may be the only sheet of 100 in public hands—a sheet that they purchased from one of their clients. SG 2601 var. Campbell Paterson PE25b (Z). Campbell Paterson $3,500 ($2,760).
500 sheets of the 50c had a silver foil fern leaf printed over the black fern leaf that was already part of the normal stamp design. The initial printing utilized a large solid fern leaf, unlike the smaller, segmented leaf of the original design. The large overprint was deemed unsatisfactory and was replaced with a smaller, segmented leaf, but not until a few sheets with the larger overprint had been sent out. New Zealand Post attempted to recall the first sheets and most were returned. It is not known how many sheets actually remained in public hands—but it is a very small number. (Image)
