1864-79 2d ERROR OF COLOUR in MAUVE, wmk CC (reversed), perf 12.5, bright shade, attractively cancelled by '6' numeral of Albany in blue. A very fine example of this famous rarity, apparently resulting from the use of the wrong (2d) plate during printing of a supply of the 6d value. The mistake was not noticed by De La Rue, and an estimated 8-10 sheets were issued in Jan 1879, with usage recorded at Perth and a few other offices. [So far as we know this was the only occasion on which DLR made such an error in printing Colonial stamps of any country, if Tobago SG 24c is excluded]. Holcombe cert (1994). SG 55b&nbsp;
