* * PRINTING ERRORS * * This webpage is destined to give knowledge of some printing errors on Portuguese Stamps. These stamps are identical to the one that it was emitted, with some small differences, sometimes quite difficult to be seen at first sight, regarding printing, perforation or used colours. These small " attractive " of the Philately, who are dispersed in attics or old coffers, that enrich our Philatelic Culture. The fact to find one of these magic papers that for negligence or due to a misprinting, a different paper, a different perforation or even the lack of it, becomes different of the one we owns, give us an a enormous satisfaction of the enrichment of our collection. Without this information it would not be possible to be included in future Catalogues and to contribute to magnify our knowledge and our culture. It is one of many reasons why Philately is the maximum exponent of the art and science of the Collectibles. |
