Atm Booklet Stamps Vs Vending Booklet Ones

I am pretty new so sorry if this is a rookie question. I am running into alot of stamps that have 2 versions otherwise identical (best I can see) where they only say one is ATM booklet and the other is vending booklet. I read up on differences and only find ATM prints value on demand where booklets are pre-printed (i think I get that is it ?!). So how do I tell if the individual stamp I have is one or the other? Example is Santa Nutcracker SC #'s 4362 4366 4370. I eliminated 4370 as it has 2008 outside the uniform. The other 2 are the remaining choices.

I assume I will be able to figure it out on all stamps once I know the "key"

Thanks for help,John

The ATM booklets were preprinted and dispensed like cash from the ATM. The form factor is the same as US currency and much thinner than a traditional booklet that had carboard covers.

While interesting it is no really what I was asking. I am just trying to figure out how, on any given individual stamp you can discern if it originally came from a ATM or Vending booklet.

The three formats have three different die cut rates (among other differences in size and straight edge orientation).

Geza - As an example, your Nutcracker stamps would have die cut rates (DCR) as follows:

Scott 4362 = DCR 10 3/4 x 11 on two or three sides
Scott 4366 = DCR 11 1/4 x 11 on two or three sides
Scott 4370 = DCR 8 on two, three or four sides

In addition, Scott 4362 differs from 4366 and 4370 in design with 4362 being A3322 with the 42-cent denomination at the top right of the stamp and 4366/4370 being A3326 with the 42-cent denomination being at the top left of the design.

Are you using a Scott catalog?

I think some of the ATM stamps are also smaller in size than their convertible booklet cousins.

I do not have a Scott Catalog. trying to use online tools for now. I found a site that seems to have the perfs on it but it is not very user friendly (Stamp Smarter).

Will see how it goes.

If anyone knows of a good site to look identify stamps that give details on the stamps and how to differectiate please let me know.

Thx, John (GezaDrummer is in memory of my dad)
