Session I: Saturday, November 23, 2013 Estimate Estimate 1530 1531 1532 1533 1534 1537 1536 1535 1539 Session I: Saturday, November 23, 2013 1540 Estimate 1533 USA Errors, Freaks & Oddities, cont. 1530 Estimate (3280b) 1999 FLAG & CITY 33¢ MULTI, IMPERF STRIP ......................................................................... PH One of only 4 known die-cut self-adhesive panes with the die-cutting completely omitted on right pair, leaving completely imperforate vertical pair of Poppy (Scott 4183) and Iris (Scott 4178) stamps. The error, caused by a 44mm shift to the left, leaves the remaining stamps severely misperfed. All stamps on reverse side are normal. Accompanied by photocopy of Nov 19, 2007, Linn’s news article. Part of original discovery. Very fine and MINT never hinged. $750 Water activated coil, horizontal imperforate strip of 4. Fresh, MINT never hinged, very fine. Scarce strip, listed but not priced in Scott. (2013 APS Cert #204705). 1531 (3657) 2002 LOVE 37¢ MULTI, SILVER OMITTED MAJOR ERROR TRANSITION STRIP ..................... PH $1500 Interesting and possibly unique transition strip of 5, with silver completely omitted on 1 stamp (second from left), nearly so on all others. Color omission in this case results from ink starvation, rather than a color misregistration (3657b). While the net result on a single stamp is the same (missing color), cause is completely different. Very fine exhibition piece on full original backing paper (with all other stamps removed by non-collector). Important item. 1532 (4125d) 2008 LIBERTY BELL ‘FOREVER’ MULTI, COPPER OMITTED ................................................... PH $1500 Extremely scarce error on 2008-dated version with large microprinting. Copper color ‘FOREVER’ completely omitted. This is the first MINT example we’ve been able to offer. Very fine. 1534 (C19 var) 1934 WINGED GLOBE 6¢ ORAN ?) 1= ,?]%Q ?U10?UQQH????????????????????????????????????A ((???((????()??????????????????????????? ???????????????????)?????????????????????????????????????????????????????)??????????????????????????????????????????????)??????????????????????????????????????????A? ???(??????? ???????(????((? ?????????1?? ??I,? 1U???
