Description
1890 80ct on 5r orange surcharge Type T101, a wonderful used example showing the complete '00' for '80' error in the surcharge with partial Trincomalee cancel. Ex Hiscocks. SG T106a, £375
4000 of this 80ct surcharge were printed, and assuming that there was one example of this error per sheet, this would mean that there were originally 100 of the error.
