Was wondering, what is the rarest and/or most expensive QE2 stamp?

Not sure about the most expensive but surely this one is in the running:
1963 Red Cross Centenary 3d, Major Error, "Red Cross Omitted". SG642a

Was wondering, what is the rarest and/or most expensive QE2 stamp? That's an interesting question. Trawling through Collect British Stamps (2010) the £1 black from the first Castles series, SG 539, is valued at £130 mint. I don't have a more up to date catalogue  Otherwise, as banknoteguy suggests, it will be an error stamp. |

The 3d Wllding with two graphite lines on the back SG 592a Is catalogued £550 mint Thanks, I should have looked in my more specialised edition of Commonwealth & British Empire Stamps 1840-1970 (2009 edition). There are more valuable stamps listed there but excluding pairs and panes: SG 593a 4d Widing £1,800 but, as with SG 592a, with misplaced graphite lines. SG 623Aa 2½d Centenary of Post Office Savings Bank, Timson Machine black omitted £22,000 SG 642pa 3d Red Cross Centenary Congress red omitted phosphor version £22,000 SG 783a 1/- British Ships Mauretania I Carmine (Hull overlay) missing £28,000 SG785a 9d First Flight of Concorde face value and inscription omitted £40,000 All 2009 valuations. However, they are all errors. |

WERT take note also … wrong thread mates, I know we have re- introduced beavers to some pars of GB but your little Canadien 3pence beaver doesn’t count .HA ha ha 👎👎 |

I mentioned SG 539 £1 Castles above at about £130 but I see that there is a much more rare De La Rue printing, SG 539a, at £350. |
