The return address on the cover led the finder to the source – Laval, Quebec. By the time the sender was contacted, all but one had been used for postage. A complete pane of 16 with the error, purchased at Duncan in British Columbia, was only reported in June 2003. It remains intact quantity: 17 mint, 1 used
