The Malaysian Error Stamps


Beautiful of Malaysia
Kemasek, Terengganu


Type of Errors and Valued Stamps

Indeed, an error stamp neither limited edition nor special edition but predominantly due to mistake in the printing process, occurrence part per million (ppm) probability, not a trial run issuance or demo or else an essay or proof and already acceptance on sale in the post office for general use (definitive), hence it's could be classified as a rarity, gorgeous & high value.

In case, it’s accidentally or solely been produced, the value could be achieved a million time from the present value. More severe, when error stamps were affixed on the stationary mail or postcard complete with proven dates of cancellation, place and well preserving. 

The value for Mint is relatively lower in comparison with Used. Main reason that many errors in Mint will be rejected for general use. In fact, the error stamps are accidentally being printed in smaller quantities. When Post Master realized, the printing  process will be ceased.

Generally, the Classic stamps are most valuable in comparison with Modern stamps. Finding an error stamp is not easy and spending a lot of time & money to be invested. However, on-line purchase is one of the best solution to save time and cheapest way to have it.
