I don't have a specialist catalogue for the decimal era, so I'm a bit mystified by the unusual appearance of one of my 75c Captain Cook stamps. The one on the top in this composite image shows the normal version of the stamp. The one at the bottom, the one I'm intrigued by, obviously looks rather different. Does anyone know if its lighter appearance is due to some kind of printing error or whether there was a different printing that intentionally looked like this?



Thanks for looking!

You're welcome JJ
Wow! Really?
I'ts very nice down there, I am 2 hrs away
was recently down there for a half marathon.

Too busy for me, at 34,000 people
I like peace and quiet :)
The house prices should suit you :)

You'll have to go to hospital if you move to WA,
to get the constant grin removed from your dial.
