A Rare Error
SPAIN
In making the printing plate of the 6 reales. blue, Spain, 1851, a cliche (duplicate metal
cast) of the 2 reales was inadvertently included, so that each sheet of the 6 reales
iucluded one blue 2 reales stamp. For many years the experts regarded this error as a
forgery, but when the famous collection of Count Philippe von Ferrari was dispersed
in 1922-5, a pair of stamps showing the 6 reales and 2 reales joined proved its
authenticity. The Ferrari pair fetched 2,400 pounds, and a single 2 reales blue is today
catalogued at 1,500 pounds. The view shows the immense Royal Palace, Madrid, an
18th-century Renaissance building.
