India - Dr. Annie Beasant

Anybody here specialize in India?

I'm trying to find out about a stamp issued honoring Dr. Annie Beasant
- there was supposed to be an issue honoring her, but printed with the
wrong date of death.

Anybody know about this?

Handshakes,

Dakota

G'day Mike,

It's Dr. Annie Besant

SG 471 1963 Type 428

Incorrectly dated 1837
she was born in 1847

Hi, my father actually has the Annie Besant stamp on an envelope. The stamp has the error of the incorrect birth year (1837), of which there are supposed to be a limited number (300?). If anyone is interested in knowing more about this stamp or buying it, they may contact me at .
