does this stamp look as it should?
i know it is and impressionist type of stamp [art]
but does not look right.
should Lincoln be all eyebrows?
it might just be the cancel.

Now that you mention it, it does. I think it just may be the cancel. The nose separation is hard to see because it is very very faint. The backside eyebrow really comes out just a little and would line up with the "S". The out side edge would go out no farther than the lips below the nose.

Of course yours goes out and touches the "S" then turns down to the "A". So if it is not a cancel then they ran a little extra ink somehow.

The slogan cancel is "give The United Way." The dot of the "i" in "give" is right over Lincoln's eyebrows.
I can also see the "v" and "e" of "give" in Lincoln's top hat. The stamp appears normal.

The stamp appears normal to me. It looks a wee distorted because of the cancellation.
