the stamps, or simply the suspension of printing and distribution, pending revision and reprinting. If the stamps are withdrawn, then the ones already out there become instant rarities, as happened with the PRC's "All China is Red" stamp of 1968. The withdrawn stamps may be destroyed or overprinted if the design can be repaired that way. Design errors occurring during chaotic times such as revolutions will simply become a topic of discussion for future philatelists. Similarly for errors occurring in highly technical aspects, such as the spelling of a scientific name of a plant or animal, and may not be noticed during the stamp's period of use. Some notable design errors Pagsanjan Falls stamp, Philippines 1932 Franz Schubert/Robert Schumann error, East Germany 1956 Gronchi Rosa, Italy 1961 The Whole Country is Red, China 1968 Legends of the West, United States 1993 Queen Elizabeth II error, Malta 2008 Predator Free 2050, New Zealand 2018 The largest run of an error on a postage stamp is the 2011 United States 'Statue of Liberty Forever stamp'. The stamp shows the replica of the Statue of Liberty in Las Vegas rather than the original in New York. The stamp was released in December 2010 and the error was not noticed until March 2011 when it was identified by Sunipix, a stock photo agency in Texas. Ten and a half billion of the error stamps were produced. Postage stamp design error types Design errors are different from any other types of errors including typographical errors, incorrect watermarks, overprints, paper types, perforation, and gums. There are the following types of design errors: Errors in the plot Incompatible features: errors in chronological compatibility errors in the depiction of natural phenomena errors in the depiction of technological processes Invalid features: errors associated with the ownership of territories mistakes in state and religious symbols errors related to personalities Errors in inscriptions or overprints (in numbers, names, concepts) Typos, clerical, spelling, punctuation mistakes Semantic, factual errors See also Errors, freaks, and oddities Bibliography Jean-Pierre Mangin, Guide mondial des timbres erronés.
