Scott #163 - Two Different Corners..?

Hi guys...Take a look at this Scott #163 stamp...There is a double line on the right side where the arrow is pointing and not so much on the left side...Thanks.

It should also be noted that the dashes outside of each numeral box is also different as shown within these yellow circles:

This picture comes across somewhat fuzzy, but is there a horizontal, bowed line through the bottom of the left "1"?

Petert4522...Must be just the reflection..here is a close up and it is not there...

For those taking interest is flyspecking this stamp, why hasn't anyone mentioned...

1. The printing anomaly in the vertical line (shown at the red arrow/yellow circle below).

2. The size of the arc above "POSTES" and "POSTAGE" is different both in width and length.

3. The thickness of the letters in the words "POSTES" and "POSTAGE" is different. In fact, there is a considerable difference in the third letter "S" in "POSTES" as compared to the same letter in "POSTAGE". (See pink boxes in image below.)

4. The circular ends to the line above the word "CENT" are differently shaped. (See yellow circles in image below.)



Probably all of these minor "defects" in printing were within acceptable tolerances to Canada Post, but with flyspeckers who study these details, they still deserve mention.

ONE -I think the reason why the difference in letter sizes for both "POSTES" and for "POSTAGE" is that "POSTES" has 6 letters and "POSTAGE" has 7 letters..They probably wanted the writing to end up at the same height, thus the difference in letter sizes.

TWO - The right hand side yellow circle with the red is shows a normal design..I believe they are ALL like that.

THREE - The two smaller yellow circles..Hmmm...Yes, you have a point.
