The inking anomilies on the right "4" is due to the plate not being properly polished in the printing operation. |

The first one is a beauty in my personal opinion but the last Lincoln has a pretty heavy cancellation and a straight edge so yes that kind of thing does devalue the stamp but I like them anyhow. Cheers! |

The "C at top left" is not listed in the plate varieties encyclopedia, but it sure is distinctive!

,so would it be termed as a non constant variety or flaw?
any extra value or just a curio? |

Assuming no other examples are reported, then yes - a non-constant flaw occurring at time of printing.
Probably not a flaw occurring at time of plate-creation, or from plate damage.
In any case a curio - these never have big value. |

thanks for the info,so basically if I could find another (unlikely I know) this would form the basis for a constant variety?
i know im new to stamps but I would of thought a one off flaw would be something great,but I understand what your saying,thanks again |
