Waiting for a possible goody I purchased the other day. Lots of suspicious white under CANADA POSTAGE and very strange nose tip on Queen Victoria. Early Needle-nose?
Coinwatcher, Hard to say from the scan. Consider that if it was a re-entry, the extra marks would likely be yellow (re-entry almost always show doubling of some engraving lines) while from the scan, I can see "white sections under postage, more likely from "under inking" vs re-entering...My thoughts, but others may have different interpretation...
I would say this was a matter of dry paper. The ink did not take well to the paper, so the paper was probably not damp as I believe it normally was. If it was under-inking, I would expect the entire stamp to be light. Just my opinion.
