Great Britain 2003 1st Birds of Prey error, SG2327ab.
A very fine unmounted mint, with full original gum, corner marginal block of ten with brownish-grey and phosphor omitted affecting the Queen's head & face value on all ten stamps.
The error causes the Queen's head, value and inscription to appear white on the top row of stamps and results in the complete loss of the Queen's head, value and inscription on the lower five stamps. Phosphor is also missing from all stamps in the block.
A scarce QEII error. Pierron records only 34 mint blocks.
Accompanied with a 2006 Brandon Certificate of Authenticity.
SG Catalogue Value: £1,600.
