Color-Shifted Vietnam Stamps


Shown here are three Vietnamese stamps 20xu, Scott No. 1114 issued in commemoration of the 26th Soviet Communist Party Congress. The stamp was issued on Feb 23 1981 in pair with another stamp 50xu, Scott No. 1115.

The stamp at the left is the correct one. The other two are those with shifted colors. Color shift occurs when one or more colors are printed at an offset to the others. It can occur in any direction, with any number of colors.

Date acquired: 25 Jan. 2013
Place acquired from: Honolulu, Hawaii, USA
