Note: “These are believed to be from a sheet of 600, and are considered as Proofs. These are from the discovery sheet, but because there were 6 sheets of 100 on the plate they could not get the ink to cover the whole plate evenly. They finally used only 2 sheets for the plate they used to print the stamps.” (Refer Garrett, pp 355-356).
