Canadian Philatelic Headlines Errors Updated Feb 2/05 50c Flag Tete-Beche Cutting Errors Check out the TETE-BECHE cutting errors. Calla Lily Missing Partial Yellow Freak or Error? The 85c Calla Lily booklet has been reported with some of the yellow missing on the upper right stamp in the pane.     Calla Lily Missing Inscriptions The 85c Calla Lily booklet, released December 20, 2004 has been found with the black inscriptions missing. The pane, as illustrated, has a 3mm downward shift of the tagging, resulting in 3-bar tagging on all six of the stamps. These were found at a post office in Winnipeg.   49c Flag over Edmonton The 49c Flag over Edmonton has had its shares of errors and other miscellaneous mistakes! It is known imperforate and printed so that there are "no gum" stamps (that is, the paper was fed upside down, resulting in the gummed side of the paper being the backing paper). Imperforate versions have been reported on a couple of different printing (of the four major printings known on this stamp). "Missing Moose" The $5 Moose stamp, released December 19, 2003 has been found with the Moose, grass, and trees completely missing. This is a spectacular missing colour error. Gary Lyon is advertising these in the July 5, 2004 Linn's Stamp News at US$4,950 for a single copy. It is believed that 3 panes exist (the stamps were issued in panes of 4) - all were discovered in Ottawa. It is thought that the Moose stamp was printed in sheets consisting of 6 panes of 4. If that is the case, there could be another 3 panes waiting to be discovered. Happy hunting! Thanks to Ian Kimmerly for passing along an image of the error. 48c Flag Missing Colour Longley Auctions illustrates a missing colour on the 48c Flag over Canada Post Building. It is Lot 248 in their July 24, 2004 auction. They describe it as "the building and background are pink because almost of the blue ink is missing".     © 2003-2011, 2012 Robin Harris Adminware is a trademark of Adminware Corporation.
