Get Mint Brooklyn Bridge Error Sheet

This sheet of 50 stamps contains “short transfer” errors.  The cable and bridge on some of the stamps don’t extend as far as intended.  A short transfer occurs during the part of the printing process when the transfer roll makes an impression on the printing plate.  In this case, the impression was not fully entered.  This may have been because of an uneven plate surface or unequal pressure applied to the plate. 

The stamp was issued on the 100th anniversary of the opening of the Brooklyn Bridge, the first suspension bridge to use cables made of steel wire and pneumatic chambers for foundations. The bridge took 14 years to complete at a cost of $9 million.
