Cat No:216a
#151a, 1964 6d Blue and black, error of vignette "H.M.S. Glasgow" in place of "H.M.S. Kent", a wonderfully fresh and choice mint example of this extremely rare and popular Queen Elizabeth period error, well centered, o.g., very lightly hinged, extremely fine; according to the note in the Stanley Gibbons catalog, "it is believed that No. 216a came from a sheet which was first printed with the centre of the 2½d. and then accidentally included among the supply of the 6d. value and thus received the wrong frame. About 25 examples of the "Glasgow" error have been recorded (Scott $32,500.00; S.G. #216a; £40,000 for n.h.). (Image)
