The stamp is a flat plate booklet pane single from a Scott 554c booklet pane (not listed as a single or on cover).

Thank you cfrphoto. Would you happen to know the color of the stamp. I realize with the computer it throws off the true color code of the scan.

Great picture! These stamps were printed in large sheets, which were then cut in four smaller panes. The blue line is where the cut was. Stamps are possible with a cut on any side, and also on two sides.
A stamp with two sides imperforated on opposite sides is a coil stamp.
Your stamp came from the right hand side of the sheet, but we can not tell whether from the top or the bottom pane.

Probably a surface scrape.

Appears to be a dry printing or scrape, interesting but no significant market value.

It can't be a scrape as it's cancelled and the cancellation is correct and I can see in my stamp a great white area in the middle of the stamp.

Why is it not possible that it was scraped before it was mailed/cancelled?

Like Don said, probably a spot where the plate did not pick up enough ink. It is not an error, but more a freak or oddity. And sorry for giving the wrong answer at first, but you did not ask a question!
