1911 (Feb 14): 50 st. orange-brown & black, a superb used example with Error "Centre Inverted", fresh and very fine, lightly cancelled by part Philippopel cds in black. An exceptional example of this great rarity, it is believed there are no more than 25 examples extant, possibly less. Signed Zagorsky Scott 97a = $ 4'250/Gi 167a = £ 7'000/Mi = € 7'500.rnrnNote: All known examples are used from Philippopel / Plovdiv. The error occurred as the bicoloured issue was printed first in one colour and then passed through the printer again for the second. The error remained un-noticed until discovered in 1918 by Nichola Kochanov in Sofia. (Image 1)(Image 2)(Image)
