13 Cent Spirit Of 76 Stamp.

From what I can tell in the catalogues, this stamp is not supposed to have a border on the right. Can use some expert opinion on this.

From the picture it appears to have been cut out of the sheet w/scissors. Also this is a 'mural' type se-tenant with perfs separating the 'mural' into 3-separate issues. Scott 1631a. This is a 1629. There is a border frame on left side, top & bottom with the blue background continuous through the 1630 & 1631. The total 'mural is bordered (but separated by perforations. Maybe someone has a complete sheet or block. This might also be a mis-perf as I can see the right border (I think) (A rescan on a black background would assist in the examination)

It's not an error but a standard issue stamp. There are 50 stamps to a sheet (pane) and the triptych format (3 stamps making up one image) means that there is always an extra stamp in each row.

Since the stamps are printed in sheets of 200 and cut into panes of 50 stamps each, the panes on the left side will have the image of Scott 1631 (fifer) with the perforations running through it; the panes on the right side will have the image of Scott 1629 (drummer boy) with perforations running through it (as in the example shown in the original post).

The best image I could come up with quickly to illustrate the differences is shown below:



To better illustrate this, a full pane that includes the stamp in question looks like this:

The perforated arm is showing a continuous arm with no break. This side of the perforated stamp (right side) is continuous thru the perfs just like the block of stamps should be. If this is single should there not be the arm continuously thru the perf to the left side. Is this an error stamp ?

Nope

to nope: could you supply a tad bit more info please ?

mlesage1954, look closely at the pane of 50 stamps, the last image that wt1 posted above. Compare your stamp with the right column of stamps. That is what you have. The design bleeds off into the right selvage. So it is not an error, it was designed that way.

OK thanks for the input fellow members.

wt1: thanks for showing the full sheet. The positioning of the 1629 at the end of the row clears it up (for me) as to how the perf & straight edge were produced. (not cut as I originally thought)

Nope
