Posting this one "just for fun".

As you can tell the ink didn't adhere to the stamp very well, most noticeably around the image of the Statue of Liberty. Of course, there is some minor ink residue in the second and third lines, but even still, it gives one the optical illusion that the Statue of Liberty was printed on top of the precancel rather than the other way around.



Just a minor oddity that makes for a unique looking precancel.
