Auction: 9037 - The "Pierron" Collection of British Commonwealth Missing Colours
Lot: 1266

Hong Kong 1976 (21 Jan.) Chinese New Year $1.30 lower left corner block of four with light red omitted and showing plate numbers at foot, fine. Brandon Certificate (2008). Pierron HK678MCa, £8,250; unlisted in S.G. Photo Estimate £ 4,000-5,000 Note: The missing light red causes the dragon to appear in the white underlay colour. The error exists in a plate block (normally 1D–2D–1D) missing 2D referencing red. It is likely an entire sheet of 50 was affected though the lack of examples on the market suggest not all have survived.
