10c 50-Star and 13-Star Crossed Flags, Red "United States" Omitted (1509g). Mint N.H. pane of 100, Positions 98-100 with red "United States" completely omitted, also red plate number that should appear in selvage below Position 99 is omitted, all other stamps normal, choice centering and absolutely fresh

VERY FINE. A NEWLY DISCOVERED ERROR OF THE 1973 CROSSED-FLAGS ISSUE. THIS SHEET CONTAINS WHAT MAY WELL BE THE ONLY THREE EXAMPLES OF THIS ERROR IN EXISTENCE.

This issue has been known with a blue omitted error (1509b) since at least 1976. Datz records 100-125 examples of that error. This red "United States" omitted error was previously unreported. Given the almost 50 years since the stamp was issued, it seems doubtful that others will emerge apart from the three contained in this sheet. This will be newly listed in the 2022 Scott Specialized Catalogue. We have proactively assigned it No. 1509g (the next sub-letter available).
