Description
THE FAMOUS WITHDRAWN STAMP OF PRC
1968 “Whole Country is Red” 8f. (W14), fresh colours, mint never hinged, a fine example of this popular rarity. Yang W63.
Within the first half day of its issue in Beijing, the editor of the China Atlas Press had discovered that there were geographical inaccuracies in the map as the Archipelagos of Xisha and Nanshi were omitted. The stamp was thus withdrawn almost immediately. However, some post offices had already sold the stamps before the official date of issue. It has also been surmised that another reason that the stamp was withdrawn is that notwithstanding its name, Taiwan is coloured in white, instead of in red.
