No mention of the tre skilling yellow error of colour of Sweden

Then you have to dump in the 'Abnormals' of the Victorian GB. There are far
fewer of each of them than the tre-skilling!


As there is only one example of the tre skilling yellow error of colour
I suspect that statement is incorrect...


The number of stamps printed in the wrong color is unknown. {wiki, et al. on
the tre skilling]

The number found may still be 'one', but the number of the total possible
abnormals [of each type] is known.


Straws and clutching come to mind.

'One known' still remains less than the known number of abnormals.
