Your Majesty, what happened to your face?

Your Majesty, what happened to your face?

... just like in the good old days, a fascinating and rare variety of a definitives issue has been discovered!

Stamp 44kr of Sweden Queen ...with a shifted facial profile was found in postal circulation

The "shifted profile" variety of the Queen stamp arose from a significant misalignment of the primary printing ink. This resulted in the "damage" not only to the Queen's portrait but also to other image elements, such as the country name and the denomination. Although this defective stamp was not intended to reach post offices, it did so; only a very small number of copies have been discovered

Only one variety stamp available—follow the link!
