Tom Pierron notes - ‘During repairs to the cylinder, the face value of one of the stamps was covered. The covering was left

in place during printing, but the error was discovered before distribution and all examples should have been destroyed.

However, a used copy on cover with a Dover cancellation dated 23 July surfaced as did two mint copies also from the Kent

costal area. Both mint copies are from the same position on different sheets: row one, column nine. Just one mint copy, in

pair with a normal, remains in private hands. The others are in the Royal Philatelic Collection.’

Tom Pierron notes ‘A new issue collector spotted the 47p value error after buying a set from his local East London post office

and comparing the values with marketing information he had received back home. He returned to the post office and was

allowed to check the remaining stock. A further 20 copies were discovered – all that remained from a pane of 25. After

waiting until early 2007 to see if any more copies turned up, the finder sold all but one copy to a dealer. In total 21 of the

25 copies from a pane can be accounted for. It’s possible some or all the remaining four, if used for postage, may turn up in

kiloware. It’s unclear how the pane with incorrect value got into circulation, but the print run must have been done in

advance of a price increase and should should have been destroyed once the 57p value had been approved and printed. It’s

conceivable one or more panes got mixed up with legitimate stock prior to distribution’.
