Vaikom Muhammad Basheer - Imperforated:
Recently I
have come across a unique error in a stamp issued to honor Vaikom Muhammad
Basheer,
in the denomination of Rs 5, on January 21, 2009. The quantity
printed is 0.4 million with 48 stamps in a sheet.
Half of the sheet is
totally imperforated and I have learnt that only one sheet is in existence which
leave only 12 pairs of 24 stamp.
