Hi,

Is it a print error or damage on this stamp?

What do you think about that?

Thank you!

Looks as if it is a damaged stamp, probably coming in contact with bleach or another chemical (or extreme exposure to sunlight) that caused the ink to fade. There is no known error for this stamp that would have produced the result shown.

Hope this is helpful.

Yes, it's probably chemical damage. I asked the question to be sure.

Thank you!

Hi sfgoda,

Yes, cancel is fade but if you look under postage in yellow zone, cancel is not more fade (or erase) than the entire stamp.

Definitively, it is a weird stamp :)

Thank you!
