This happens to be the only copy of US Scott 2249 that I have. It appears to evidence a significant color misregistration. Does anyone have an another to compare it to? I have downloaded an image from a web site as a comparison, but it is difficult to tell:

Yes, there is poor color registration in your stamp. However, it is a fairly typical example. While interesting, it would still be considered a faulty stamp. To get the attention of EFO collectors or to have any increase in retail value, the shifted color would have to be noticeably >1mm, and/or preferably result in some "cute" design anomaly such as a 2nd window/door/eyeball...

Still, even if minor, can be fun putting them side-by-side with a properly color registered stamp, as you have done.
