Mistakes in manufacturing usually make products worthless, but an error in printing one New Zealand stamp makes it worth about $300,000.
New Zealand’s rarest stamp, incorrectly printed in 1903 and showing Lake Taupo and Mount Ruapehu upside down, was today presented to Te Papa on long term loan by New Zealand Post Group Chief Executive, Brian Roche.
It is the only known survivor of 80 incorrectly printed stamps.
