Scott 116 For Certificate Grading

Good morning
I kindly ask you, if this stamp from 10 cent. with grill can be certified for centering, compared to other identical stamps is larger Greating Simone

With the crease it would not be worth the money IMHO.

Simone, if your question is whether this stamp is better centered than other Scott 116's, then the answer is yes. It is very well centered with jumbo margins (if all the perforations are genuine).

good evening

The stamp is not bent, it is the effect of the paper which is corrugated.
thanks and greetings Simone

The stamp is clearly creased at top (diagonally) and the perf added (repaired gouge) at right where the crease exits the stamp. A good repair job.The "corrugation" you probably are seeing is the grill I presume.

maybe it is the effect of the scanner but the stamp duty is not bent as it seems from the picture,
The grill is located at the bottom left is barely visible.

The OP is not a native English speaker and I believe his contention is that what we are calling the crease actually is an indentation that was present in the paper before printing. He picked "corrugation" as the best analogous word for this. It's possible that the edge of some object could have been set on the paper before printing to cause such a mark, or on a cover to which this stamp once was affixed. Since we do not have the stamp in hand, his contention cannot be resolved here, and on the basis of the present scan almost all experts would say it is an ordinary crease. A different opinion would require personal inspection and if it is a crease, as others have said, the cost of expertization to obtain such personal inspection is not worth it.

If the stamp has no crease, is otherwise fault-free, and if it were mine I would send it in her certification and grading .

The stamp has a long crease, the crease ends in an added perf, there are 3 significant partial perf tears at top, and the non-descript cancel obliterates the subject. I would not send this in for certification or grading.

Here is one with nice centering for auction at $59.00 with zero bids and will probably go unsold. How much would you pay to have a stamp with faults graded?

Good morning
I will assess whether to send it to a certificate not having a high catalog value, if he has been manipulated is not worth anything, thanks for the answers

By no means is the stamp worthless. It's a good stamp that many would be proud to display in their collection. I just don't think you would recover the cost of grading should you sell it.
