My apologies for nit-picking, but this is King Edward VII, not an "admiral" (George V). Perhaps by editing the title accordingly, you might peak the interest of an Edward specialist to take a look.
Cheers!

COINWATCHER..I think what you are seeing is a combination of both faint cancellations marks and this stamp being made of soft fiber paper, there is a lot of bleeding going on...Just my opinion. |

COINWATCHER,
What kind of camera are you using to take such clear close-ups? I need a new camera and yours does the job really well. |

3Dadeo it is a Canon Powershot A720 IS. It is quite old so you can probably do much better now. The key is to use very bright light. I take my pics in sunlight. |

Hi coinwatcher.
The centering on this stamp is beautiful! However, the perf tips on this one look like they are "gum soaked", a phenomena that is common when a stamp is regummed. Can you provide a scan of the back?

Regarding the original 10c KE7 posted I just heard back from Ralph Trimble whom I sent pics of the stamp to. He said"This does appear to be a re-entry! I particularly like the doubling in the
UL and LL corners, and some of the lettering.
Nice find!"

Excellent! You have a nice trifecta - sound, great centering, and light cancellation (making the re-entry easy to see). Grats!

Wow nice pics. Do you have a special stand for it? I did not know those Powershots could get that close, or do you do max resolution and then blow them up? |

The re-entry appears to be upper left corner doubling of frame line top and side. The lower left corner shows doubling of the bottom frame line. Also see doubling in at least DA PO and possibly other letters.
The diagonal lines do not appear to be part of the re-entry but are very interesting. |
