Yet perhaps the most chapter will list the King's "imperfections," stamps that would be of little value. if. perfect and yet are worth big money be- cause of mistakes. } The Princess Shed a Tear Many years ago a single rose- maive '1%d. showed a single error in the lettering. [t was never issued and the King now has the only _known _ specimen, worth £4,000. Another error stamp has "penoe" printed for "pence." Bought for the Royal collection for £500, it is, reputed to be worth £1,500 to-day. A coronation stamp came out with two ting uncoloured spots, resembling a colon, between "12" and "May." -Up went the col- lector's price when it was known «that the King's agents were trying to bay one. Then the price fell be- cause the agents had the almost «incredible. luck to buy this "corna- "tioi- flaw" in" a_ post office. An imprefection like a tear ap- peared. beneath Princess Elizabeth's eye in the Canadian one-cent Jub- ~-ilee stamps. The tear appeared only one pie stamp on certain sheets, ~but, though there sheets to depress the rarity market, "the stamp changed hands at 1000 times its face: value.

One of the imperfections was quickly ac- quired for the King.
