Post Office Boo-Boo: The leading Bahamian of the past half century, Sir Lynden Pindling, was commemorated in a special stamp edition issued by the Bahamas Post Office. His greatest achievement was Bahamian independence. His likeness and the date of Bahamian independence appeared on two stamps. Something wrong though - the date. Instead of July 10th 1973, the stamp read July 10th 1972. The Post Office said the stamps would not be withdrawn because their value would be markedly increased without Bahamians being able to participate in the windfall from this philatelic farce.
