Top stamp shows a blunt "2" while bottom shows normal.

Note - colour shift which is common

Very interesting. Its fun to search these stamps
for varieties. My specialty is the 32 cent queen.
I`ve found a number of varieties on it.

flyspecking BK78 various copies

blunt 2 on both stamps

blunt 2 on bottom stamp

broken T in POSTAGE also breaks in dead flower stamens (other examples exist)

Ink run from "2" to tip of flower.

Note - colour shift, Many other missing specks from letters etc, Missing specks may be from "glue splatter" from pasting in booklet or maybe from brittle ink breaking off?

I`ve been searching through my box of flowers and came up
with these two. Not quite as blunt as yours but close.
Note the top of the 2 on the right stamp. There`s no
damage here and you can see a weak line.
