9 [1975 50 oyru Map] WHITENED PAPER variety. When compared under long-wave UV light, the paper of the variety is distinctly whiter. [This observation is only valid on stamps that have not been soaked.] Ink color is usually darker than the average 50 oyru. This variety seems to be quite scarce. It is not listed in any of the catalogs, however, it has been known for quite a while and was further reliably reported by Quarles, but he was never able to track down specific paper sourcing information that explained it. NH VF single.

65 Olive COLOR ERROR [1981 10 oyru Rune Stone] NH VF single in Yellowish Olive Green instead of the normal Gray Green. Our late friend and Faroe modern-issues expert Art Quarles, who had many personal contacts inside the Faroe post office, was "absolutely sure" that this color difference existed when the Faroe post office received their supply from the stamp printer and that it was not a color changeling. I last had a few examples of this error back in 2007 and all very quickly sold for $250 each. I now have only four more examples.
