A collector noticed that the Queen Elizabeth II In Memoriam stamp of November 4, 2022, had a design error: the year of the Queen's death is shown as "1922" instead of "2022:, Transcamster Bog local post rushed a corrected version into production. The new stamp shows the correct year of "2022" and was issued on November 7, 2022. Since philatelists would consider it a different design, not a variety, it has a designated first day of issue and a first day cover.

Transcamster Bog stamps and covers are sold in both U.S. and U.K. currencies on eBay.
