Great Britain 1958 4d SG576a – Double Impression
Sold for
over £600 in London auction - April 2002.
We have another copy available.
Please ask if interested.
The 1958 4d Wilding definitive has been found
with double impression. This is shown
below with a normal for comparison.
Both are the deep ultramarine not to be confused with SG576, the
original paler printing.
The overall appearance of the stamp is much
deeper than normal and rather blurred.
This is a result of a doubling of the printing. There is a second image of the design about
0.3mm above the main image. All the
lettering and horizontal frame lines are doubled and the laurel wreath is
almost solid.
Stanley Gibbons list a similar variety on the
shilling value of the same series at £160.
We hope to offer this attractive error in a future mail bid sale unless
sold by private treaty first. Please Contact
us if interested.
