Great Britain 1972 3p Christmas "Angel Playing Lute" error, SG914a.
A superb unmounted mint, with full original gum, top marginal example with red-brown (detailing) omitted.
The colour omission from the printing affects the detail printed on top of the gold; the angel's head, wings, hands, banjo, sleeves and bottom of the robe.
A scarce QEII error. Pierron records only 24 mint examples.
SG Catalogue Value: £750.
