It's called tete-beche from the french.

I have seen that the term Teté Béche is applied to stamps found together with printing on the front, but I have not seen it on stamps with inverted printing, perhaps it could be an error or rare variant. I give examples of tete béche with normal impression of the front

an interesting concept... never thought of it

I don't think that the term tete-beche applies to side by side stamps since it roughly means up and down or head to tail.

Yes, but....Rob's Paraguay stamp has a reversed, or mirror image stamp on the bottom. Who would conceivably print a backwards stamp? And why?
So, what would this error, as I would call it, be called by the "experts", like Scott or Michel, or SG, etc?

I keep asking, what is it? Error? It's not listed in the specialized Scott either.

My first thought is that it is printer's waste, but it has been cancelled. If there is no information on it then it starts to look rare. Could it be fake? Whatever somewhere deep in a Google search of the issue there should be some information.

To me, it appears the two Paraguay stamps are identical, but a normal tete-beche pair. Does not look like a reversed image.

This is the oddest tete bèche I have ever seen. And 3 Garanies in blue?, (sc # 503, or 530, 3G is olive bistre, and #649 is deep blue), is it an issued color and denomination for this stamp in the UPU set. Incidentally I use a MINKUS album, and it does not have a spot for Sc#649 3G deep blue, and I don't have the stamp in my collection to compare colors, let alone this strange reversed "tete beche". Anyone has a Scott # 649 issued in 1968?
Any one has a clue?
rrr...

The image below is of an item offered on ebay a few years ago, borrowed from another stamp forum where this pair was addressed. Apparently it was an error in position 35 made during preparation of the lithographed plate.

Translation of srolfsmeier’s posted image:
“I examined the fragment of an envelope bearing a Paraguayan stamp, 1968, 3 G., blue (Cat. Yvert & Tellier, No.964), canceled, which is printed in a mirror. This variety, due to an error in the course of the preparation of the lithographic strategy, constantly occupied the position n.35 of the sheet. A photographic reproduction is united here. In my opinion, the fragment is original and the stamp, with its interesting variety, it's perfect: I've signed it ‘ED’.”
Interesting indeed!

If so, if we knew how many sheets were printed we would know how many stamps have this error. Forget all the tete bèche stuff, this is more to do with the inverted jenny error although probably with a lot more examples. It is a very nice stamp to have and should be in the catalogues.

I just started collecting UPU postage. I was given a site where I could view these stamp issues pretty much by country, but don't remember where to locate it. Can some one help me?
