Lot: 67

(x) 1966 (Oct.) Christmas 4c., a horizontal strip of five with margins at ends, the fifth stamp with olive-green omitted and the fourth stamp with olive-green partly omitted, sheet No. 073067 in gutter margin at left, fine unmounted mint. BW 471ca, $12,500; S.G. 407a, £3750. Photo

Note: It is suggested that there was one right pane partially affected to varying degrees. It is thought that olive-green omitted comprises only two or three stamps, probably 8/5, 9/5 and 10/5. Variety one olive-green omitted, one partly omitted occurs on all of column 4 and rows 3 to 10 of column 5. This variety is often described as "value omitted", but several of the least affected stamps in the upper rows show "4c" present or partially so. The second and third columns of this pane show disturbed olive-green printing.
