Hi guys...Can you look at this Scott # 86b stamp...Just picked it up at my local coin and stamp store for a couple of dallors...Is the roping on the outside of this stamp look like an indication of a possible re-entry...Thanks.
Wert, I believe you are seeing retouched cabling. There is also a misalignment of the of the red color plate causing the islands to be printed slightly off from where they should be. This stamp is notorious for the blue and/or red plates not to be registered properly with the black plate. Each color was printed by a different plate.
