 | Lot #873 BRITISH COMMONWEALTH NEW ZEALAND 2004 Olympic Games $2 Peter Snell (gold medalist for 800 meters in Rome in 1960), center inverted (as the prismatic plastic design is upside down). This spectacular error was found in a local Hamilton post office and it is believed that only a single pane of 16 was issued. When a customer, who went to buy a stamp for his overseas mail noticed the error, he came back and purchased the remaining seven stamps (by this time half the pane had already been sold to public and are likely to have been used on mail and subsequently discarded). One of the examples has been sold back to New Zealand Post and is currently displayed in the New Zealand National Museum at Te Papa as the most significant NZ stamp error after the 1905 4d Taupo inverted center error. The current error was found shortly after release and once NZ Post heard of this problem, the remaining stamps were withdrawn from circulation. This Error has been extensively written up in the NZ Stamp Collector publication (Royal Philatelic Society of New Zea ** Catalog #1971var | Price Realized $2,600.00 |
