I came across this one today and wonder if anyone can tell me about this error. It appears to be a crack. the images are the best I can produce but the crack does appear to be very sharp, suggesting it is not a crease in the paper. Thanks for any information anyone can provide me. The second image has been sharpened with an editor.

Maybe I came across a set of errors as I have this one on the $5 Mentone. Sorry about the poor photos.

On the $2 stamp: wouldn't a crack in a printing plate or cylinder affect only one of the colours? To me this looks like damage to the surface of the stamp after printing.

The same may apply to the $5 stamp, but the image is much too small to be sure.
