recently,i have spent alot of my time for researching on foreign stamps especially great britain and australia stamps.so far at this moment,i found 3 great britain elizabeth stamps but they look curious and abnormal,i think so becouse I have compared this 3 stamps with thousand of similar stamps for each of them but they still look differently.here are all the 3 stamps:

1.great britain elizabeth 2d brown with only one perforation hole on the right vertical side.probably you might think I cut it like that by myself in fact I never done anything like that before(i swear to god)and it looks very unusual.first time ever seen something like this.

2.great britain elizabeth 5d blue with multicolour,i can see thick white transparent lines on both side of the stamp just like the machin decimal series(below stamp)compare with the normal stamp on top.

3.great britain elizabeth windsor castle 5 pound with symbol colour variety?i can see the shade colour of the symbol changes from green to gold shade,gold changes to pink shade.3 shade colours on a symbol keep changing around underneath the light just like chameleon.normally is showing gold colour shade on the symbol.is this normal for the symbol?

this is all the GB stamps which I found at the moment,maybe will find more.please try your best to look at the stamps on the photos below and then let me know what you think and give me your opinion.thank you and have a nice day.

According to Scott, the 5 pound stamp and the rest of that set has the Queen's
head printed in a special ink that changes color from green to gold.

It doesn't mention pink. If the changes are gradual, it might pass through pink when going from green to gold or gold to green. Haven't seen one to compare.
