I have been hot on this stamp for days now, even sending it to my stamp guys...no response. It is a 1968 Helvetia stamp (Switzerland) depicting the St Mauritius Cathedral in village of Appenzell. More info on that to follow.
The sheet is mint, perfect condition and seems to possibly have a flaw. The cathedral is inverted in four of the eight columns. Was this intentional and normal in the printing of this sheet?
I am not finding much on this stamp finding only a few used singles for sale or perhaps a new stamp as part of a collection of stamps from similar design and celebration.
The first sheet shows the serial number for the
sheet printing. I may be crazy but I am going to keep chasing this stamp for more information. I can seea stamp collector over in Switzerland looking for just this piece.
UPDATE. 4/7/13----So I went to my local stamp show today and showed this to a gent who is reputed to be very knowledgeable about Swiss stamps...and no, apparently this stamp is not taking me to the Delano....might not even take me to the bathroom......but hey, he could be wrong, right?
