Found this seemingly common precancel without the horizontal bars. Is it particularly unique or was it some printing problem that caused the bars not to print?
The Perth Amboy PSS-704, is in the catalog with a (23) footnote. This denotes that it 'often comes with bars partially or completely missing due to wear or application technique'. The PSS catalog on CD has a feature to search for footnotes. Of the 42,352 listed types, only 24 types have received the footnote-23! No extra value but certainly unusual.
Thank you! Always like finding the unusual. Even though it may have minimal value, it is certainly an example that makes it all the more interesting to collect.
