Its horizontal size is longer than normal, and looks "well centred". May I say it is well centred?


Thanks for your looking.

I am not really knowledgeable about US stamps, especially of that era (nice stamp) but if it was Canadian I would call it Fine to Very Fine with Jumbo-sized side margins.

So, in other words, yes, it is reasonably well centered. To me, anyway. This new grading system of percentages is beyond me.

ZhangCheng, could you look at this thread about the Canada Year of the Tiger stamp and tell me what the Chinese characters on the center left, center top and center right selvages say please? Thank You. Post it in that thread if you answer. Thanks.

Hello Puzzler,

Many thanks for your opinion.

And thanks for the vocabulary "Jumbo-sized side margins", it is very exact as the description than my "horizontal size is longer than normal", and I will use this vocabulary in my future stamps description of similar cases in English language.

And I have finished the translation on your thread, hope that is helps.

Best wishes,
ZhangCheng

You lost me, Spock. Is that a question? Are you speaking Vulcan again?
