    Description

    The 8c value from the 1933 Sir Humphrey Gilbert issue as the brownish red color error, Scott 218a. The error is shown at left alongside the standard color to show the extent of the color variation. The normal color stamp is not included in this auction.
    The error is very rare; Unitrade notes that 200 are thought to exist.
    The stamp on offer is very fresh and centered a little right. It has lightly discolored, mint, never hinged, original gum. It shows a smudged/smeared ink band along the top edge of the design and the whole thing looks over-inked. Ink smearing is not unusual on 218a.
