At First I thought it was skinned, but when I had a good look at it under a 10x lens then under a microscope it shows raised fibres slightly higher than the rest of the stamp. It looks like woven paper. Regards, Horamakhet
A lot of stamps lose part designs due to gum. It may have been sandwiched in a glassine for a while, and slight pressure along with a very slight loss of gum viscosity, has the stamps becoming "tacky" and adhereing, ever so slightly together.
