JAMAICA 1969 (VARIETY) 50c/5S PORT ROYAL EXPLORATION PAIR WITH MAST OBLITERATOR
50c/5s Port Royal Exploration pair, 'C-DAY 8th September 1969' overprint, with right stamp showing additional obliterator over the mast of the ship. Unusual and very scarce. Ex Joseph Mahfood collection. Fresh and fine. Mint never hinged. SG290var; SC289var
Note: the variety was discovered affecting eight stamps in column 2 of a pane and was possibly left over from a trial printing featuring the obliterator which was added to prevent the 'I' of the mast being confused with the rest of the overprint
