Rare 30th 2012 Olympic Games Gold Medal Winners - Un-issued Value Location Miniature Sheet This is a "Must Have" stamp for anyone with the other 29 Olympic Gold Medal Winner Stamps. This 30th Olympic Gold Medal Winner un-issued value "Nelson" stamp was a surprise discovery and is the original un-issued stamp design for the Olympic Gold Medal Winners stamps, used by the Royal Mail in their pre-Olympic publicity.Out of the small number of mini sheets that have turned up, only a very few have the Printer Location selvage along the left edge. This special item with the Nelson Printer Location also has an issue date of 3rd May 2012, even though it was not actually released. It has a code number GMW0A, whereas the issued sheets had numbers ranging from GMW01 to GMW29.It was allegedly first discovered in a bundle of used postage stamps (also known as Kiloware). This stamp is exactly like the other 29 Gold Medal Winners stamps, printed on phosphor paper, fully perforated on gummed paper, Queen’s head and 1st class value. As the stamp features an unnamed rider - we thought it appropriate to call him Nelson due to the Printer Location. The same image of the rider can also be seen on the 2012 Welcome to the Olympics Presentation Pack and Miniature Sheet.Also see the Ultimate set of Gold Medal Winners minisheets - Printer Locations - printed
