And to finalize this week’s “freakshow”, here’s a 1973 Hungarian 3 forint definitive postage stamp with dark green color omitted. The most noticeable difference is when looking at the trees on the hills, but it does affect other areas too.

On normal stamp (top below) the trees are dark green on greenish background. On the abnormal copy (2nd stamp below) the trees are dull gray.

1973 Hungary - 3ft definitive postage stamp. On top normal copy, below dark green color missing.

1973 Hungary - 3ft definitive postage stamp. On top normal copy, below dark green color missing. Michel #2874A, cat. value 0.20€.

Once again, this EFO is not listed in Michel stamp catalog, but IMO it is somewhat easy to find as I have come across with 4-5 similar copies.
