1378 nh 83a 83a, 1920 1- Bright orange and orange, Frame Inverted, an incredibly choice top sheet-margin single, excellent centering, brilliantly rich colors, full original gum that is never hinged, extremely fine.There was apparently one sheet of si#83a, 1920 1/- Bright orange and orange, Frame Inverted, an incredibly choice top sheet-margin single, excellent centering, brilliantly rich colors, full original gum that is never hinged, extremely fine.There was apparently one sheet of sixty printed with the inverted frame. However, the error was not discovered until 1922, when a collector at the Machioneal post office found a partial mint sheet. Since one used copy is known postmarked Kingston, the sheet must have been divided, with half going to Machioneal and the other half of the sheet to Kingston, where they were mostly used for telegraphs. While no formal census has been taken, most authorities put the number known at somewhere between ten and twenty. The example offered here, with its sheet margin, beautiful centering, vibrant color and being never hinged, is probably the finest of the small number extant.A superb example of one the most important errors of Jamaica, as well as being one of the key rarities for the Inverted Centers of the World collector (S.G. #85a; for hinged £30,000).
