USA SC 2284 With Missing Detail Lines

i found this scotts usa 2284.
the copy on the right.
it does not have the details on the flowers [grey lines]

do other have copies without the detail lines?

thanks

If it's a minor shading issue, apparently Scott doesn't recognize it in their catalog, so it is not likely to be considered anything significant. Could be a "freak" of some sort. In any event, it's always fun to collect these oddities.

Quite honestly, I think your second stamp has a slight color shift (or misregistration), too, as I have highlighted here:



Unfortunately, I don't think any of it will merit any premium value ... it's more of a conversation piece than anything else.

i seem to find freaks...but that is ok.
i like things that are a little different.

Me too!

Another thing: Stare at the letters "USA" for awhile. It appears they are different (thicker) on the second stamp than the first. Nothing to create a special Scott number over, but still different.

I'm not sure if this issue was distributed by multiple printers or not, as that could explain it a bit.

There are numerous minor differences between the two stamps. I know that one of the posts thought that there may be a color shift on the right stamp, but if anything, the left stamp looks "blurrier".

I only have one copy of this stamp and while it has the detail lines in the flower petals, they are very faint. It seems that your left hand stamp may be the over-inked freak.

i have about 10 or 20 other copies of these stamps.
all are more similar to the left stamp..none more like the right stamp.

Just checked my stockbook and found this easily visible color misregistration on the same stamp issue referred to above:
