ERRORS
AND VARIETIES range from gutters and other
uncommon or unlisted formats, flyspeck freaks and
oddities to constant varieties (usually, but not
always, one per sheet of stamps) and imperforates
(where the normal stamp is perforated), scarce errors
and essays. Serial sheet numbers (sheet #) and some
relevant corners, or plate numbers (plate #) are listed
when available; some are common, others can be scarce
for issues where the total number of sheets printed is
1000 or less. The paper shade differences of the modern
issues of El Salvador and Honduras are slight and are
distinguished as follows: EL SALVADOR: cream paper =
white gum, low fluorescence, white paper = bluish gum,
high fluorescence; HONDURAS: Cream paper = white gum,
high fluorescence, white paper = bluish gum, low
fluorescence.
