GUERNSEY 2003 LETTERS OF ALL SHAPES AND SIZES TRIAL SHEETLET
Letters of all Shapes and Sizes trial sheetlet lacking silver and with significant design differences to the issued sheetlet renamed Letters on a Stamp on a Letter. The trial sheetlet with 25 March 2003 imprint (compared to 3 July 2003 of issued sheetlets) indicating the issue was delayed presumably to allow for various design alterations. Extremely scarce. Fresh and fine. Mint never hinged. Offered with issued sheetlet. SG1008var; SC809var
Note: the trial sheetlet features an illustrated background and lacks silver (Queen's head, £5 value, and territory name) from the stamps. The trial sheetlet stamps have a 'Lettersofallshapesandsizes' inscription, which is absent from the issued stamps, and a royal blue background and pale orange frame compared to deep blue background and white frame of the issued stamps
