China- Sun Yat Sen - 50$ - Extremely Rare - One Copy Known Of This Rare Error Stamp.

china- sun yat sen - Extremely rare - one copy known of this rare error stamp.

It's not clear to me what the error is, even though you put a red oval. It looks like there is a hole or thin ??? Please explain the error, and confirm there is no hole or thin there. Thank you.

Printing error.
No hole.

OK, thank you for the quick reply/pic!

OK, we see it. Is there a question here? Same, you constantly leave us guessing at your posts. Could you please tell us the how and why of these pictures? And if there is no question, please let us know.

That doesn't look like a rare error ,it looks like a broken printing plate caused it . Maybe someone dropped a tool onto the plate while it was on the printing press .

To everyone with all respect.

- there is no question.

- this stamp is extremely rare.


- The only stamp discovered in China.

How much do you think this extremely rare stamp is worth??

I'd say 2-3 Million $.

Is the image comparison even valid? The stamps in the comparison have different values. Someone knowledgeable about the De La Rue archives would have to speak to whether these were true key plate issues. And the scaling of the enlarged images is not the same, which tends to exaggerate the appearance of the alleged error (which also has cancel ink in the area).

Seems better classified as an oddity. There are plenty of one-off oddities like this in philately, in which a particle of dust or a tool on the plate changed how ink adhered.

Here is my copy, notice the defective lettering much like the original poster .

I wet the stamp and used a safety pin to make a few million dollars .
