Varieties
by “Napoleon”
Germany Misdated
Plate flaws changed the birth date of Georg Friedrich Handel
on a 1935 stamp, and the death date of Otto v. Guericke on a
1936 stamp. On the 25 pf blue Handel stamp, the birth date of
1685 became “1585” in position 50. Handel not only was given
an extra hundred years of life by this, but the value of the position
50 stamp rose from the normal 15 Euros mint never hinged
(MNH) and 1.2 Euros used to 70 Euros MNH and 75 Euros used.
The opposite date effect occurred on the 1936 6 pf green
stamp honoring Otto v. Guericke. His life was shortened by six
years, with his death moved from 1686 to 1680 in position 96.
The normal stamp is 1.6 Euros MNH and 0.6 Euros used. The
“1680” variety catalogues 40 Euros for either MNH or used. In
the detailed illustration, compare the upright of the last “zero”
with that of the earlier “6.” The variety comes from absence of
the upright, not because the stamp was designed with a zero in
position 96.
“Values:” dividing the variety value by the value of the ordinary
stamp will create a multiple the reader can apply to prices
from any other catalog. For example, if the ordinary stamp has
a used price of 100 Euros, and the variety has a used price of
350 Euros, multiplying a Scott or Unitrade price for the used
stamp by 3.5 will give an approximate value for the variety. *
“1585” for “1685”.
“1680” for “1686”.
