This error was first discovered in 1983 (nearly thirty years after<br />

its issuance) by a collector in the United States who found it in<br />

a stock book among his duplicates. A second example was<br />

found in 1992 in a glassine containing common stamps<br />

(auctioned in 1993 by Christie's, described also as with slight<br />

creasing). The third example, which is offered here was also<br />

discovered in a mixture of common stamps in 1996. It is now<br />

thought that only one position in the sheet of 100 contained the<br />

invert.<br />
