Hi,

Is it common to find a stamp with 3 folds like that?





Near Tic-Tac-Toe game

Thank you!

Cdnum, or the folds could be in the paper prior printing, like this example.

I'd suggest the folds on both were after printing.
creased from poor handling.

Interesting with line engraved
a crease will maintain its original print generally,
with typography and esp photolitho,
the ink tends to lift at the crease line.
Chalky paper images get ruined with a crease.

Rod222, appreciate what you say but after very careful re-examination of my Western Australia One Penny, imo the creases were in the paper 'prior' printing. I have a few Aust' 1d KGV that have pre-printing creases exactly the same as the W.A. 1d. Using old damaged spares and introducing creasing, the difference between 'prior' and 'post' is obvious.
