Also included is 20k blue, part sheet of 11 (position 6 excised), plus 10k red pane of 5, position 6 blank, some creases, ex-Lentz, Faberge. During the preparation of this printing, two pulls were interchanged by mistake. Thus, in the sheet of each value, the 6th stamp was of the wrong value. By the time 20k was discovered in the "red" sheet, the "blue" sheet was already printed with the 10k error in the sixth position. The error was removed from the sheets already printed; while the corresponding error on the "red" value was corrected on the plate, with blank space printed in plate of the 6th stamp (Schmidt 5,6,5A)

1979 $1.00 Rush Lamp & Candle Holder, intaglio brown color inverted, n.h., v.f. The CIA invert is the one of the best known inverted color errors in United States philately. These stamps were discovered by an on-duty CIA employee who teamed up with some colleagues to purchase the pane from a post office. Saving a copy each, the group later sold the bulk of the sheet to a prominent stamp dealer. News of the error reached CIA officials who sought to claim ownership and US Postal authorities who tried to recover the stamps. Official queries, threats, and even job losses followed the group until the sale of the pane was ruled legal. Only about 80-85 copies are accounted for. Because the number of existing CIA inverts approximately equals the number of existing Inverted Jennies (C3a), many speculate that current values for 1610c are far too low; examples of C3a regularly bring six-figure sums at auction,

1930 $1.30 Zeppelin, cancelled April 19 on flown FDC from Lakehurst to Friedrichshafen on the return flight of LZ-127, with scarce "scratched" flight confirmation cachet (50% premium per Michel). The “scratched cachet” covers resulted from an early decision by an eager postal employee in the New York Post Office to service covers intended for the flight from Lakehurst in advance. Such covers had received the "Type I" flight confirmation cachet, showing the full Zeppelin route. Type I cachet was used until May 6 (the last day before the departure of the ship carrying the American mail to be flown from Friedrichshafen). Shortly thereafter, the decision was made to modify the confirmation cachet for mail departing from Lakehurst. The new Type II cachet showed only the US to Germany portion of the trip. To comply, postal clerks were forced to manually scratch off part of the cachet design on covers processed in advance. Such "scratched cachet" covers are uncommon and are found almost exclusively on 65c

A note from the BPA identifies this copy as position 1 of the block sold in 1947 by Harmer Rooke.
