Very nice. Those are the type of 19th. century stamps that I try to buy. Decent centering and light cancel but still affordable. Well done.

I drew some lines across them with Windows XP Paint program.





They look OK to me, except for the top right of the 162. Printing?

No, no, everything is OK. The perfs line up OK. The picture may be a bit off, slanted on the scanner or photo, but that is all.

I think there is an optical illusion at the top of the stamp perhaps?

Actually what I don't particularly like is the left side of the 162. They seem very round and even to me, not like the other three sides.

If viewed in person....
this left side will be the easiest to tell.
The blue target cancel goes into 5-6 perf holes.
The definately would be ink soak inside the perfs...

The Blue cancel on the Scott 162 is from Cincinnati, Ohio. Very nice partial strike of both the CDS and bullseye killer.
