La Trochita

On the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the Patagonian steam locomotive train "La Trochita", the Argentine postal administration issued a se-tenant with four stamps on November 22, 2022, which was also sold in the form of a stamp booklet. Each of the stamps had a face value of $260 (Argentine Peso). The total franking value of the stamps was $1040. This was stated in the stamp booklet as the retail price. However, the stamp booklet was sold for $1200. Due to the error, the stamp booklets were withdrawn shortly after sales began. After a label was placed over the selling price of the withdrawn stamp booklets, the stamp booklets went on sale again.
