These are offset printed, and sometimes the rubber blanket "bounced" a bit. So it is a kiss print. Double impressions on this issue are much larger and more noticeable than this.

Hi All

To the modern collector these are referred to as "Kiss Print". But many of the older dealers and serious collectors I've known and been associated with refer to this is as "Squash-Effect Doubling". So take you pick, I think the Squash-Effect Doubling is a better name. But then that is just my thinking!

Cheers

Dave

Thanks for that info revcollector...But would they not if it is a kiss print call it something like RD4a or b..etc...Or does American stamp catalogues not recognize kiss prints...Not trying to be ignorant, but just wondering.

The Scott catalog does not list kiss prints. They are very common on these issues anyway.
