Note: The variety is mentioned in the Dragomir handbook of 1974 as being perf. 11 1/2, the mistake was made as he never examined the original stamp. In his handbook he valued the stamp at a coefficent of 800, being the highest price for any item of this issue. The Michel catalogue mentions this stamp without price due to it’s rarity
