Did everyone get a chance to collect this misprinted stamp - I got mine 
Egypt issues stamps to mark new Suez Canal - but uses pictures of Panama Canal instead
An interesting new stamp issued by Egypt
A set of three stamps was issued by Egypt post to mark the announcement of the new Suez Canal project. But however,
instead of the Suez Canal, mistakenly the image of the Panama Canal was used. This mistake was noted only after a day
of issue and these were withdrawn and a new set of 3 stamps were issued again after a few days.
The stamps which were sold on the first day and withdrawn now sells over multiple price over its face value.
New stamp issue after the withdrawal of the above stamp
I also collected this one so I can show the difference.
