Mistakes in Stamps.

BY simple error in the printing of 6
set of stamps the value is enormously
increased to collectors. A short time
ago Dutch stamp was printed yellow
instead of blue A week later these
stamps were sold at a great premium.
A New Zealand stamp some years ago
Was printed upside down, and II is now
worth a large sum. Among English
stamps the old red penny, with the plata
No. 255, is valued by collectors. and the
small pink halfpenny, with plate No. 9.
is not worth less than $40. 1t is said that
The plate of the latter was broken soon
after 1t came into use and was never re-
placed, hence the value of the few
stamps printed from It. 1t is always
question with amateurs whether to buy
their stamps used or unused. But 1t is
safe on great occasion, such as the
Jubilee or Exposition year. to buy them
with the postmark.
