1967 Christmas 5c - Colours Missing And Or Displaced?

Dear all,

have some different looking christmas stamps 5c
and would like to know, if the differences in colour (gold)
and "missing long hair" on one stamp are common, or if one is
uncommon.

Thanks for your kind help

Gold affected by exposure to light. Hair looks like an inking problem.

For comparison...



There seems to be a yellow spot above the "A" in "ART" in the bottom right corner. Never noticed it before. Never would have noticed it. Wonder what it is?

Downward misregistration. If you look along the top edge, you will see that color has been shifted down.

Breitner, we need a better resolution picture of only the affected stamp (which I assume is your rightmost stamp?).

Thank you all for your kind contribution to my question.

Indeed it looks like a golden colour shift.

So this makes the long hair one side disapear for example.





Does this foto show better the details?

Thanks for your help.

best regards

I do see mine has a color shift (downward). But if you look at the top (over the head of Jesus), both my stamp and Breitner's Stamp have one. Mine is down, and Breitner's is to the right.

I wonder if this particular stamp is just "color challenged" when it comes to the accurate placing of the gold. Interestingly, they both seem to be off the same amount. Just mine in the "y axis" and the other in the "x axis". If they tried to correct the registration problem, and mistakenly just switched the x,y coordinates, that would produce the errors seen on both stamps. I wonder what other stamps of this issue show regarding colors. I know, I am fly-specking here.
