Britain 1972 3p Christmas Angels error, SG914e.
A superb unmounted mint with full original gum example with gold (detailing to face and wings) omitted.
Offered with normal stamp for comparison and presentation.
A rare Queen Elizabeth II stamp
error of missing colour. Pierron records only c.30 mint examples.
Gold was printed using two cylinders (1E and 1F); only gold from cylinder 1F is known missing. It's a difficult error to spot, but can be confirmed under magnification by comparing
the braiding on the sleeves and at the bottom of the garment with that on the normal stamp - the gold printing is noticeably thinner on the error.
Due to the subtlety of the error, it is likely many copies from the original find have been lost or
destroyed.
