Description

1966 Christmas 3d mint n.h. with variety gold omitted on two examples in a lower right corner marginal block of eight, with a further three showing partial to nearly completely omitted gold , a few bent perfs at top left otherwise very fine and scarce error, with dealer David Field handstamps in the margins. (Note: Although not listed by S.G. due to the possibility of the gold being removed chemically, the fact that this block shows a progression of the omission proves that this is a genuine error).
