Λάθος ορθογραφικό στη νέα σειρά γραμματοσήμων

 ΕΛΤΑ: Γκάφα με ορθογραφικά λάθη σε επετειακό γραμματόσημο για τη Μάχη των Θερμοπυλών
Το γραμματόσημο που απέσυραν τα ΕΛΤΑ

Τα ΕΛΤΑ απέσυραν το αναμνηστικό γραμματόσημο για τα 2.500 χρόνια από τη Μάχη των Θερμοπυλών, αφού η ιστορική φράση «Ω ξειν, αγγέλλειν Λακεδαιμονίοις…» είχε δύο εξόφθαλμα ορθογραφικά λάθη!

Η φράση είναι: «Ω ξειν, αγγέλλειν Λακεδαιμονίοις ότι τήδε κείμεθα τοις κείνων ρήμασι πειθόμενοι». Μετάφραση στα νέα ελληνικά: «Ξένε διαβάτη που περνάς, ανάγγειλε στους Λακεδαιμόνιους ότι ταφήκαμε εδώ, έχοντας πειθαρχήσει στα προστάγματά τους».

Στο γραμματόσημο, ωστόσο, η μετοχή «πειθόμενοι» αναγράφεται ως «πειθώμενοι», ενώ αντί της αντωνυμίας «κείνων» γίνεται η χρήση του επιθέτου «κοινων».

Το γραμματόσημο επρόκειτο να κυκλοφορήσει στις 22 Σεπτεμβρίου, μαζί με την αναμνηστική σειρά γραμματοσήμων για τα 2.500 χρόνια από τη Ναυμαχία της Σαλαμίνας, ωστόσο με ανακοίνωση τα ΕΛΤΑ έκαναν γνωστό ότι η σειρά «2.500 χρόνια από τη Μάχη των Θερμοπυλών» θα καθυστερήσει «για τεχνικούς λόγους».

Ταχυδρομική ιστορία Κύπρου

In the last 30 years, David Feldman has offered many important collections and rarities of Cyprus, and our June 30th-July 1st auction series will see this continue with the “Tatiana” collection of Cyprus. This section features 139 lots and is notable not only for its rarities but also for its multiples, from the very affordable to the highly sought-after and valuable.

One of the key rarities of Cyprus philately in the collection is lot 31217, the 1880 1d red pl.208 vertical pair from the top of the sheet with the “CYPRUS” overprint omitted on on the top stamp. Caused by a misalignment of the overprinter, the whole top row of one sheet had the overprint omitted, and of the twelve possible examples, only 10 have been recorded (according to Akis Christou’s website on Cyprus Victorian Stamps).
“Tatiana” had a keen interest in multiples, and in his Cyprus collection he has some extremely rare if not unique blocks. One of those is lot 31231, the 1880 1d red pl.218 with double “CYPRUS” overprint in a lower marginal block of four. In the key-type issues, there is lot 31261, a mint block of four of the very rare 1/2pi die I in emerald-green on watermarked Crown CA paper. Quite probably unique as such. One of my personal favourites is lot 31266, the 1882 “1/2” on 1/2pi block of 12, comprising of two rows of six if the complete setting of this overprint. Each pair of “1/2″s on a stamp varies slightly in appearance which allows their position in the setting to be identified. This includes the “spur on 1” variety that is listed by Stanley Gibbons, which is visible on both stamps in the third column.

Perhaps the most attention grabbing multiple however is lot 31316, the KGV £5 top right corner marginal block of four with plate number “1” and sheet number, which is estimated at £6’000-8’000 and I’m sure will be keenly fought over. High face-value stamps from the King George V period are very collectable. Just think, not many would have spent £20 in the 1920s on current issue stamps for their collection, which is more than £1’200 in modern day money taking inflation into account!
For those with a more modest budget, there are plenty of affordable and attractive 1880 1d red marginal multiples, including plate number blocks and pairs, ranging from £40 to £3’000. They would make an attractive addition to a GB collection of Penny Reds as well (especially if one could find matching blocks unoverprinted).

The most valuable single stamp in the collection is lot 31272, the 1886 “1/2” on 1/2pi with fractions approximately 6mm on watermarked Crown CC paper (SG.26). Before our auction in June 2018 which had a strong section of Cyprus, the stamp was catalogued at £22’000; and we subsequently sold an example in that sale for £37’200. The catalogue price has increased to £30’000 since but it’s always a tell-tale sign of how rare a stamp is when two or more people go head-to-head above and beyond the SG quoted catalogue value! The example in our sale at the end of this June is estimated attractively at £15’000-20’000 so I’m quite confident it will go beyond our top estimate because it deserves to.

Towards the end of the section there’s also a few spectacular errors and varieties from the KGV and QEII issues. Including the popular 1934 pictorial issue with imperforate betweens. Printed in sheets of 60 (6×10), only one sheet of each of these varieties existed, so that only ten of each imperforate between horizontal pairs possibly exist, and only six of each imperforate between vertical pairs. Although some were used and even split, presumably at the time, so less exist in reality.

The Mauritius 1848-59 “Post Paid” Primitives

by Ricky Verra | Apr 22, 2020 | Articles

In June 1848, less than a year after the famous “Post Office” issue, a new Two Pence value was issued, followed later by a One Penny, which like the First Issue, were engraved locally by J. O. Barnard. However, instead of being inscribed “POST OFFICE” in the left hand frame, they read “POST PAID”.
The image above shows unused examples of this “Post Paid” 1d and 2d issue, which we sold in the “Adamastor” collection of Mauritius in December 2017, for £84’000 and £78’000 respectively.
Unlike the “Post Office” issue (which were both printed singly from the same plate), the “Post Paid” values were printed from separate copper plates of 12 subjects, 3 across and 4 down. The relatively soft plates wore quickly when put to press, and the supplement by A. J. B. Rudge that we published in conjunction with our 1993 Kanai auction catalogue carefully classifies the quality of the printings into several states: Earliest, Early, Intermediate, Worn, and Latest. Rudge gave specific indications for each position which helps to identify the state as well as details for each specific position on the plate. For example, the “PENOE” (for “PENCE”) error of the 2d Blue is from position 7 and occurs in every State. Complete plate reconstructions were present in the Kanai sale for the Early, Intermediate, Worn and Latest impressions, and the illustrations certainly help to plate these stamps in conjunction with Rudge’s supplement.

In our June 2020 auction series we will offer the first part of the “Tatiana” collection of Mauritius, which includes 42 lots of the Post Paid issue from the various states, all of which have already been identified as well as their position from the printing plate. This selection includes extremely rare unused examples, such as lot 20042, the 2d Earliest Impression unused left marginal in the beautiful indigo shade, estimated at £30’000-40’000.

But the sale also includes more affordable used examples with a variety of cancellations to pique someone’s interest; ranging from the standard “target” concentric circles, to numerals including the scarce “14” of Rivière du Rempart, a “B53” barred oval (see lot 20066, very rare on these issues) and even includes two examples of the extremely rare “Black River” script framed datestamp cancelling stamps on cover (lot 20079 and lot 20080). So anyone looking to start (or add to) a plate reconstruction of this fascinating issue can add extra interest with the range of cancels.

The pièce de résistance of this auction however, is the joint-largest multiple of this issue; lot 20040, the used block of six of the 1d Earliest Impression with blue “1” numerals (ex Hind, Burrus and Kanai) is estimated at £80’000-100’000. The other known largest multiples of the Mauritius Post Paid issue that exist include an unused block of six of the 1d Latest Impression (ex Dale-Lichtenstein and Kanai), and a block of six of the 2d Intermediate Impression (ex Ferrary, Dale-Lichtenstein and Kanai). However since this is the Earliest Impression, the detail in the printing of the stamps is exquisite and it’s a truly stunning item.

There exist three 1d + 2d “Post Paid” combination covers. The greatest showpiece of the three being the “Souillac” cover franked by Early Impressions of both values. It was part of the Dale-Lichtenstein collection and at the time realised half the price paid for a 2d “Post Office” on part cover. One of the combination covers is lot 20063 in the June 30th-July 2nd auction series, which features an Intermediate Impression 1d and a Worn Impression 2d, which is unique as such.
