Great Britain 1973 3p British Explorers "David Livingstone and Henry M. Stanley" error, SG923/4d.
A very fine unmounted mint, with full original gum, se-tenant pair with error of missing colour, light orange brown omitted.
The missing colour affects Livingstone's hair, moustache and jacket making them appear darker. Similarly, the error affects Stanley's jacket making it appear darker.
