4th Congress of the Communist Party Vietnam, December 10th, 1976, Michel Nr. 880-881; Two stamps both in a 12xu nominal were issued in perforation 11.0.
Here is the mint set that shows a double impression of the black color. This was caused by the rubber mat in the printing process being too lose which caused the mat to vibrate.
Another printing error that has been observed shows the number “IV” on the left stamp in yellow instead of white.
Detailed scan of the affected area
Here is a much rarer error set on which the entire black printing process is missing. Only the grey color is visible resulting in the top imprint “Dao Hoi” missing entirely. The other inscription only shows up in the grey.
Rare single franking of the 12xu value on a local letter sent from Chauthnh (small post office) to HCM City in September of 1978. Ben Tre transit and HCM City arrival cancels on the reverse.
