    1911: 50 st. orange brown & black, a magnificent used example with "Centre Inverted" variety, of excellent centering and fresh colour, lightly cancelled by 'Philippopel' datestamp (June 7, 1913 as most known examples are) in black.

The error passed un-noticed for between five to seven years, the first example being discovered only in 1918 by Nicola Kochanov in Sofia. All the known examples are in used condition with just one sheet sold in Plovdiv (Phlippopel). Probably no more than 20 examples exist.
