Great Britain - QEII (decimal) U
QEII 2012 Diamond Jubilee MISCUT Miniature Sheet ERROR (plus normal FDC for comparison) - Note COMPLETE QEII 'Wilding' light brown 1st definitive to Right Hand Side - Plus VOID Position and Text to Left Hand Side with completely MISSING QE 'Banknote' 1st (Green). Stunning. Windsor 6th February 2012 First Day Cancel (one such cancel disguising VOID position). Interestingly, and most remarkable is the fact that it has not proven possible to find another example for sale online currently (as I type) … however there is quite a story to how the pricing of this stunning QE Miniature Sheet error on FDC has evolved - speculation (2012) as to very low number of errors created an initial estimate of £1,000 to £2,000 … we have seen the invoice for another example which sold for £885= but we have also found this Diamond Jubilee MISCUT ERROR on first day cover being offered for sale some time ago at £190 but SOLD out of stock as no longer available. Usually if you look hard enough something may be found but we come to the conclusion that this is a significant error of which more than ten years later more are unlikely to be discovered, upon a very popular Royal subject which when infrequently offered sells. Our client tried to obtain a number of these over a period of years until seven error FDC's plus one MS u.m. had been acquired … which is why this stunning miscut positional error miniature sheet is launched on TUT for just £275=. We feel that this error on FDC could sell for up to £475= however we have this small number which may almost all be offered via Top-UpTwenty. How long will this one last? A major miscut ERROR miniature sheet with MISSING 'Banknote' stamp. Very popular. Superb (1 Miscut Ms. FDC + normal Ms. FDC)
