Although a true error, the stamp is also very common as 111,680,000 were printed.

Hi Rob,
Another genuine error like that is the Australian Antarctic Territory stamp of the "Nimrod"
the error was printed in 1980, but I don't know what quantities, but then in 1982 they reprinted the correct image in the series, but I don't know the quantities either.
The pair of two is the error,(it is part of a block of four) and the second is the reissued stamp from 1982.
So is one more valuable than the other?

Hi Horamakhet
Like the John Shortland error, too many have been made for them to have any commercial value. Collectors will buy anything that they think or in many instances been told they were rare would buy as many as possible for a future nest egg that would never arrive. The 2020 missing "AUSTRALIA" is a more recent example of a nest egg that will never eventuate.

According to my old Seven Seas Australasian Stamp Catalogue, the first Nimrod version had a print run of 2,800,000, and the second version had a print run of 5,004,000, so plenty to go around.

Hi to all,
Hi Rob,
Thank you for your answer, I thought that would be the case. I don't have a current set of Decimal volumes of ACSC.
I would not be surprised if we started seeing "artificially created errors" more often
Not my field The Australian Antarctic.

Hi Horamakhet
I believe we will whenever the post office has a drop in profits from philatelic sales, the 2020 missing "AUSTRALIA" is the beginning of modern manufactured "errors".
