Details
Two sheets of Scotland Questa 26p stamps from the Q3/Q4 lithographic printing have been discovered with a very large downward shift where the tops of the normal bars are only just above the value. This brings the horizontal blue phosphor band which is between the gutters of the sheets and which is normally trimmed away, onto the 10 stamps in the top row.
