A 3d dark green on green tinted paper. This stamp originally identified as part of an experimental printing, but is more likely a result of interrupted printing.
The ink used for the first sheets once printing was resumed not being sufficiently thinned to be completely removed from the surface of the pale by the action of the wiper, at least four sheets were recorded.

These stamps are seldom seen and the quantity believed to now exist is less than 100 as a result of environmental damage, thrown away and accidents that were witnessed over the years by dealers and auctions.
One such accident (I saw the stamp) was with a Ceremuga certificate showing it to be originally untouched, yet the stamp when offered for sale had the left side (middle to bottom) guillotined.
This stamp is rare and in well centred MUH condition. The rare green tinted paper is on the left and the regular stamp on the right.
