I know what you mean, Puzzler. I started collecting in
late 1966. I remember going to a corner store nearby
that had a postal counter and buying the 1-5 cent values.
I couldn`t afford the high values, I was not working.
I was collecting during the centennial era but took
little interest in them. |

Are you collecting those funny (pardon) ink smear (looks like) varieties on the 8c and 10c (I think!?) also? |

Do you mean the 8c high value? I`m not doing anything
with the high values right now, |

Alani's February 29th posting on page 3 of this topic is a better example of the "little moon to right of the library". |

Well...not quite. The one posted on page 3 is farther
away from the library than the last one I posted. |

The current bag I`m going through has about 10k stamps. I got these from Canada mixtures about 20 years ago and soaked off paper. I haven`t found very many nice varieties. I was starting to think somebody had already gone through these but today I found this one. If a centennial collector had gone through these they wouldn`t have missed this one.   |

Pulled this one out of the pile today. A mark above the top left corner. It`s found on both orange and black perf 12x12.5.   |

Alani, there's also a whitish area on your March 5th entry "dot on shoulder" #459, 6 cent, your photo ref. 20120304_shdota. While printing, the black ink must have missed a small section on the white paper.  |

Blackjag...I`ve seen a lot of this especially in the top
right corner. Don`t know what causes it. |

A nasty scar between her eyes...knife or sword? It might be one-of-a-kind but it is interesting. Check out the ink drag on the CANADA as well.    |

Dot in the C. I posted one on page 7 on a perf 10 stamp. There are two types. I`ll call that one type A. Today I found both types on perf 12x12.5 stamps. Type B is also found on the black die I 12x12.5.  Type A  Type B  |

A big dot by her cheek. I havn`t seen this listed anywhere but it`s hard to miss.   |
