The \"BlackHonduras\" is the world\'s rarest air-mail stamp. It occurred in1925 when a number of regular-issue Honduran stamps were overprintedwith an air-mail surcharge. The overprinting was carried out withequipment not really suited to the job. Regular Honduran stamps camein sheets of either 50 or 100 and had to be reduced toblocks of12 to fit the press. As a result, some odd blocks, which were patchedtogether any which way, were created. This produced an avalanche ofprinting errors and varieties. It is thought that only4examples of the \"Black Honduras\" were printed. Three ofthese specimens are missing, and the only copy known today came tolight in 1930. On February 6th, 1976, it sold for $80,000. Pleasetake the time to view my other collectables - you won\'t bedisappointed.
