Auction: 9037 - The "Pierron" Collection of British Commonwealth Missing Colours
Lot: 1466

New Zealand 1960-66 Pictorials 1/2d. with pale blue omitted and green virtually omitted, fine. Rare. Pierron NZ1562MCc, £1,250; C.P. O1a(X); unlisted in S.G. Photo Estimate £ 800-1,000 Note: Catalogued elsewhere as pale blue and green missing, the error results in the loss of petal shading and – due to a massive down shift of green – the near complete loss of colour from the leaves and stems. Traces of green remain by the bottom row of perforations.
