The U.S. Dag Hammarskjold Error

  • Description
    Two collectors, one in New Jersey and one in Ohio, each bought a sheet of this commemorative, which had the yellow background inverted. On discovering the existence of the error, the Post Office Dept. reissued the stamp with the error and eliminated the premium value of the original sheets. These rare postage stamps are also called the Day’s Follies after Postmaster Edward Day.
