VERY FINE AND CHOICE EXAMPLE OF THIS DOUBLE "CANAL" ERROR. ONLY TEN WERE PRINTED.

According to Canal Zone Stamps, this error was apparently created on the right vertical row of the left pane. The sheet was placed too far into the press for overprinting of the right pane, causing "Canal" to print on the right stamps of the left pane and "Zone" to print in the gutter. Theoretically, this stamp should exist with overprint missing, but none have been discovered.

With 1969 A.P.S. certificate. (Image)
