I have two Detroit Mich. covers with Scott #26 stamps and nice dated cancels. As you can see one is 1858 and the other 1861.
Upon closer inspection of the stamps, it appears they have very similar "relief breaks", plate flaws or maybe just wear. Certainly these don't appear to be from the same plate though... Any thoughts or info as always appreciated.
Those are both A relief stamps. Every top row stamp from every plate, 9-28, are A relief stamps and are the so-called "damaged transfer" variety. It is better described as a damaged relief rather than a transfer. The more interesting positions are those that have been repaired in various ways.
