I recall buying that stamp at the PO when it was issued. I actually bought a block of 4, I can't recall if it was a plate block or not. This was when I just been collecting for a few years. I enjoyed looking for the Star of David with my magnifying glass. It was probably the 1st hidden image stamp I had purchased. |

Were they other hidden images stamps printed? That was unusual. I don't think I have that one in my U.S. collection.

rod,
I never knew that there were stamps that had hidden images. Thanks for both links There was a listing on the U.S. Postal page that had all the U.S. stamps that Scott had listed with images. Thanks.

On a similar note (sort of) Canada tucked hidden dates into stamp designs for years. There was an article in Scott's monthly in the last year or two, and probably a thread here, too? |

Another great use of scanners and especially higher resolution scans, is to distinguish between those pesky "Type 1" and "Type 2" and "Type 3" varieties, where the only difference is a misplaced dot of ink somewhere.... |

Thanks Dianne.
BTW. The USPS does not allow such secret markings, and the engraver
was suspended for 12 months. (as I have read, not confirmed)
