RYUKYU ISLANDS, 1960, 9c on 4y Brown, Air Post, Surcharge Transposed (C19c). Mint N.H. block of four with bottom selvage, additional "9c" printed in selvageEXTREMELY FINE. A RARE MINT NEVER-HINGED BLOCK OF FOUR WITH ADDITIONAL SURCHARGE IN THE SELVAGE.
This error came about due to an 8.5mm downward shift in the overprinting of a single sheet, thus reversing the order of the lines of the surcharge. This bottom selvage block beautifully demonstrates this error.
With 2014 P.S.E. certificate. Scott Retail as singles.
