Great Britain 1969 5d British Ships error, SG778ya.
A very fine unmounted mint example with full original gum. Error with colour red (Inscription) and phosphor omitted.
Offered with an example of the normal stamp for comparison.
The error of missing colour results in the loss of the Inscription on the ship.
A scarce and very reasonably priced QEII stamp error. Pierron records only circa 288 mint examples.
