2003 $5 Moose with Engraved Colours Omitted, a mint never hinged full pane of 4, missing the Moose and foliage, etc. engraved colours, very fine and desirable. Accompanied by a 2020 Greene Foundation certificate. The Moose stamps were printed on sheets with 6 panes of 4 stamps. the stamps are printed first by lithography (background colours, etc.) then by a separate printing pass through an intaglio press, which prints the engraved Moose. The "Missing Moose" error occurs when two of the gummed sheets temporarily adhere together and go through the intaglio press, resulting in a normal sheet on top and a sheet with a faint albino impression (but no ink) on the bottom. One of the most visually striking modern errors, and arguably more so than the Inverted Seaway. (Image)
1997 $8 Grizzly Bear Pane of Four with Imperforate Top Selvedge and Top Half of Upper Stamps, mint never hinged, very rare and very fine. This is the first we have handled of this major error, and we are aware of only four in existence. (Image)
