614 nhbl ImageRYUKYU ISLANDS, 1960, 9c on 4y Brown, Air Post, Surcharge Transposed (C19c). Mint N.H. block of four with bottom selvage, additional "9c" printed in selvage

EXTREMELY FINE. A RARE MINT NEVER-HINGED BLOCK OF FOUR WITH ADDITIONAL SURCHARGE IN THE SELVAGE.

This error came about due to an 8.5mm downward shift in the overprinting of a single sheet, thus reversing the order of the lines of the surcharge. This bottom selvage block beautifully demonstrates this error.

615 nhbl ImageRYUKYU ISLANDS, 1960, 9c on 4y Brown, Air Post, Legend Only, Surcharge Transposed (C19d, C19c). Mint N.H. top left corner selvage block of four, top stamps lacking "9c" of surcharge

EXTREMELY FINE. THE UNIQUE TOP LEFT CORNER MARGIN BLOCK OF FOUR WITH THE TOP TWO STAMPS SHOWING LEGEND OF SURCHARGE ONLY AND THE BOTTOM STAMPS WITH SURCHARGE TRANSPOSED. A HIGHLY EXHIBITABLE ITEM.

This error came about due to an 8.5mm downward shift in the overprinting of a single sheet, thus reversing the order of the lines of the surcharge. The top row shows the legend only without the "9c" of the surcharge, and the remainder of the sheet shows the surcharge transposed.
