This item is an imperf PLATE PROOF of one of the values fromTonga 1992 Olympic Games set.
All Tonga stamps issued after 1980 were perforated. Unlike other countries, Tonga did not issue both perf and imperf stamps, they were all perforated, none were issued imperf. However, at the beginning of each printing run, the printers Walsall Security Printers of London, used the printing plates to print off one imperf plate proof sheet for checking purposes before the main printing run. This plate proof sheet was not perforated, and was checked by the printers for any mistakes and for clarity of colour. After checking, this first sheet was not perforated, but was left imperf., and was then placed in the printers archives. The item here for sale has been taken from the printers imperf plate proof sheet, and is a very scarce item from the printers archival material.

IMPORTANT NOTE - for buyers in China, India, Russia and Romania who
pay by PayPal, REGISTRATION is COMPULSARY. Too
many unregistered letters have somehow gotten lost or stolen when
sent to these high risk countries and paypal forces me to
refund payment to the buyers even though I have posted their
letters. If you pay by moneybookers then registration is not
compulsory. But if buyers from these countries pay by
paypal THEN REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED no matter what the cost of the
item is.
Buyers from all countries must pay for registration if the total
amount purchased comes to US$50 or more and they are paying by
paypal. If you are paying by moneybookers and the
total is over $50, then you can decide whether you want the
protection of registration or not. But if registration
is not taken, then risk of posting is at buyers risk.
COST OF REGISTRATION in Australia is now AU$18.50 (US$14.00) for a
large A4 sized international registration envelope and AU$12.00
(US$9.00) for a small sized international registered envelope.
