Bermuda 1970 Decimal Currency, 2c. on 2d. Plate 1B block of twenty (2x10) from the right of the sheet, the lower four rows with variety surcharge additionally showing on reverse, fine unmounted mint.

Photo Estimate £ 4,500-5,000Note: One sheet of this value is recorded with the four lower rows without surcharge caused by the sheet being wrongly inserted into the press. The surcharge for these four rows was consequently imprinted on the printing roller and this resulted in the next sheet receiving the surcharge normally on the front and additionally on the reverse in respect of the lower four rows
