AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Pair of €1.55 stamps from the “High Values – Italia Turrita” series (2002) affected by two color separation errors during printing:
1. LEFT STAMP: A massive, complete shift of the red and yellow colors. The effigy of the turreted head and the gold denomination are printed completely out of register, floating in the upper-left corner, well beyond the original blue frame.
2. RIGHT STAMP (EXPERTIZED): Complete absence of the red and yellow colors. The head of Italia Turrita is entirely missing, leaving the central background completely white.
The right-hand stamp is signed and classified in pencil on the back by the prestigious CARRARO Philatelic Studio, the foremost authority in the field. It bears the specialized catalog classification 2216 Ab, providing an absolute guarantee of the variety’s authenticity (with no subsequent manipulation or chemical alteration).
