Sorting through my 10K box lot of stamps, I found this shifted copy of R161. Are errors like this common? Has anyone seen others like this or have a value for it?

It's not an error, it's just a poor job of rouletting; in other words, it's grossly off-center and worth less than a VF copy.

Stampcoder, it is still a nice copy for an EFO collection,(Errors, Freaks & Oddities) because it shows a portion of the top image on the bottom.

Those are pretty common but I still don't have a complete set. Someone was going to send me some one time but then I never heard from him again for some reason? Oh well, Anyway; More on this 10K box lot? Did you pay 10K or is there 10 thousand boxes or 10 thousand stamps? Inquiring mind(s) need to know...lol

About 10,000 stamps off paper for $100. Almost all worldwide, but a few U.S. scattered among the list. Almost all common but a few surprises here and there. Since I'm just starting up a new collection of classic stamps, I found a lot of to add to my new collection. Of course, now I have to figure out what to do with the 7,000 stamps or so I don't want
