Sale 1129, Lot 434, Later Issues24c Washington Crossing the Delaware, Perforations Inverted and Reversed (1688n). Mint N.H., rich colors, also missing "USA/24c" on position d, denominations fall outside of the perforations on almost all other positions due to the inverted perforations

EXTREMELY FINE. A REMARKABLE ERROR ON THE 24-CENT "WASHINGTON CROSSING THE DELAWARE" SOUVENIR SHEET, WITH THE PERFORATIONS INVERTED AND REVERSED AND WITH ONE POSITION MISSING TEXT WHERE PERFORATIONS SHOULD HAVE BEEN.

It is believed only two examples of this dramatic error exist. Scott Retail with no premium for the missing text
