Lot #920
BRITISH COMMONWEALTH JAMAICA
1920 1sh bright orange and orange, frame Inverted, bottom sheet margin single, perfectly centered, h.r., v.f. According to most accounts this frame inverted variety was discovered by a local collector at the small Post Office in Manchioneal, a village on the coast of Jamaica in March 1922. It is presumed that only one sheet of 60 must have had the error, with half the sheet going to Manchioneal and some being fiscally used, while, more than likely, the other half sheet going to Kingston, as a used copy of the error exists with a Kingston cancellation. Estimates vary among specialists as to the exact number of these errors that still exist (10-20). This beautiful example is accompanied by a 2004 Royal cert. (SG 85a)
