Color-omitted Errors
Strange Animals.
Wildlife Conservation.  1971.
Olive and bluish geen omitted
Scott No. 1430b
This error is rather subtle in that the casual stamp user might not notice it when pulling stamps apart to pay bills, but once recongnized, is jewel-like because of its subtlety.  Adding to its appeal is its rarity, with only 8 blocks reported
Toolin' Around the Moon.
Space Achievement.  1971.
Red and blue omitted
Scott No. 1435d
The omission of red and blue only enhance the stark quality of the lunar surface.
Emily Dickinson.  1971.
Flesh tone omitted
Scott No. 1436b
A Delightful Pair of Errors Befitting a Marvelous and Under-appreciated Poet.
Emily Dickinson.  1971.
Black and light olive geen omitted (left stamp); flesh tone omitted (left stamp on right pair)
Scott Nos. 1436a and 1436b, respectively.
The left stamp, devoid of inscription is as simple and unadorned as Dickinson's verse.  The exceedingly rare stamps in the pair at right contrasts as elegantly and gently as Dickinson's best couplets.
