PRINTING ERRORS * *
This webpage is destined to give knowledge of some
printing errors on Portuguese Stamps. These stamps are
identical to the one that it was emitted, with some small
differences, sometimes quite difficult to be seen at
first sight, regarding printing, perforation or used
colours. These small " attractive " of the
Philately, who are dispersed in attics or old coffers,
that enrich our Philatelic Culture. The fact to find one
of these magic papers that for negligence or due to a
misprinting, a different paper, a different perforation
or even the lack of it, becomes different of the one we
owns, give us an a enormous satisfaction of the
enrichment of our collection. Without this information it
would not be possible to be included in future Catalogues
and to contribute to magnify our knowledge and our
culture. It is one of many reasons why Philately is the
maximum exponent of the art and science of the
Collectibles. |
