1962 U.S. Commemorative 4c Hammarskold "Normal" and "Error" PLT#BLKs of 4 LOT OF 2    Sc# 1203 and 1204  M/NH/OG 

Background:

This is a regular Sc#1203 Plate Number Block of 4. Ref: U.S. #1204 was a “Special Issue,” ordered by Postmaster General J. Edward Day in response to an error on U.S. #1203. After a color invert on the yellow background was found on the 1962 Dag Hammarskjold stamp, Day ordered a reprinting of the stamp – with the error. A printing of 40 million stamps was made so that the error would not be regarded as a valuable rarity. The special printing was called “Day’s Folly.”


One in a series of CLASSIC 19th - 20th Century U.S. postal issues to be listed this month on E-Bay. Includes Complete Sets and Plate Number Singles and Blocks.
