We have recently received at our studio a stamp
showing an impressive perforation error that we are going to show you in this
new blog contribution.
We are going to show you a copy of stamp Edifil
number 3100, which was issued in 1991 because of the Universal Exposition which
was going to take place in 1992 in the city of Sevilla. It shows the Monastery
of Santa María De Las Cuevas “La Cartuja”. The perforation size of this stamp
is 13¾ and 14. There were 3.900.000 copies issued of this complete set of four
stamps. As we can see in a correct perforated copy, the year and the name of
the monument are located at the bottom of the stamp, one to the left and the
other to the right.
We have now discovered a copy that wasn’t
perforated correctly, as well as the rest of the copies from whole leave we
suppose, so there would be more copies out there. The perforation was moved
down so the year and the name of the monument disappeared. On the other hand, the year and the name of
the monument from upside stamp appeared at the top part of the copy. Here you
can see the variety explained:
This variety has not been catalogued in any
Spanish catalogue and as we are concerned, no one has referred to it. Thank you
very much for reading this new contribution to our blog and any comment will be
absolutely welcomed.
