Item Description

Liberia Complete 2000 Presidential Set Including the "President" Al Gore Sheet and S/S unlisted in my 2015 Scott Catalog.  

(2015 Scott Catalog Note:  During 1999-2004, Liberia was torn by a brutal and chaotic civil war that reduced the nation to a state of anarchy. Government services, including postal operations, functioned erratically, if at all, for months at a time. During this period, overseas stamp agents continued to produce stamps under pre-war contracts and a large number of of issues appeared that were marketed to overseas collectors. It appears that some of these stamps have been released in Liberia since the end of hostilities.  These will be listed when their sale and postal use has been confirmed.)

During the confusion on election night, with networks announcing both Gore and Bush as winners, Liberia released the “President Gore” stamps in error.  Realizing the mistake, Liberia recalled the stamps.  For nearly five weeks Bush and Gore waited for recounts and courts to decide the winner.  When Bush was finally confirmed the winner, the remaining Gore stamps were destroyed.
