Whats Wrong With This Scan??

Can someone please tell me why the letters S in US and P in Postage and T in apostage and A in Postage have flaws in between the letters when none of the other stamps do.

Also why are the beads or balls to the right of the center oval different than all the other stamps of the A44 design.

My stamp has quite a few difference nothing to do with paper or color or size or perfs the differences are actually part of the design.

I have had answers to my post yes but noonwe has answered my question ....I have seen mistakes / errors similar to the flaws on my stamp but they aren't classified as a DAMAGED STAMP they actuially sell for more than the regular version.

All Id like is a simple answer to a simple question I appreciate all the info you have provided .....but my question has not been answerwed.

thanks

Nope, sorry, no one can tell you anything more than you've already been told.

Simple answer: Damaged

I guess I'll also bail out on further comments to these stamps. I look forward to other ones, though.

What makes you think the differences are part of the design?

Why can't they be the result of variant inking of the plate?

This person is apparently only interested in answers that tells her she has won the lottery with an ultrarare stamp, rather than the truth, which is having a worthless piece of paper that used to be a stamp.

Simple question:



Simple answer: inking variation

As you have been shown, your stamp is neither rare nor unique, it is just different within your small sample.

Now you have the simple answer you asked for.

Satisfied, or do you need more?

I don't know why you people are so defensive I asked a simple question and I have still not received an answer...inking.. inking doesn't add beads and why is it that inking isn't the answer to other stamps with misprinted lettering.

I'm not looking to win the lottery I have British, German, Swiss and Italian stamps that are worth a small fortune and some very nice people from those countries were more than happy to assit me.

I'm just trying to find out about the American stamps I have.

The two stamps I have inquired about on this forum are noticeably different from the other stamps of their type. I have tried to post on the other topic but it is locked. I opened a new post and it was closed. They said I should watch my manners and not leave posts unfinished how can I finsh them if Its LOCKED!

In that post I asked a very simple question ,,,Can a flat plate printing measure 22.5 mm high and the answer I was given was I measured it wrong ...that is not an answer

I had the stamp measured by a local stamp dealer the measurements are correct.

I posted a scan of it beside a flat plate printing stamp and you can see in the scan that the stamp in question is too large to be a flat plate printing I also posted a scan showing it beside a rotary press printing and you can see that it is too small one way or the other to be a regular rotary press printing.

The only stamp I have found that measures the same is the #596 which just so happens to be in the same series as my stamp.

At first I thought my stamp was 10.5 by 11 because when I put it beside an 11 x 11 rotary press stamp they didn't match up I bought a perf gauge and it is perforated and measures the same as the #596.

I think it is a stamp made from sheet waste. I don't think it is rotary press or flat plate ....unless flat plate printings measure 22.5 mm high or rotary press measure 22.5 mm high ....So I asked the question and I will ask it again is it possible for a flat plate printing to measure 22.5 mm high .

Hopefully this time someone will give me a simple answer a YES or NO will do.

lol

Yes, it is possible in very rare circumstances for a flat plate printing to measure 22.5 mm tall.

No, your 4c Martha is not 22.5 mm tall. When you scanned it next to other rotary prints, it was easy to see that it was shorter than them.

The 596 measures as any flat plate stamp would, very close to 10.9 all around. The majority of perf 11 stamps you find will measure the same. Your flat plate printed 556 4c Martha will definitely measure the same as the 596.

The question that I have is why do you refuse to read our replies and try to understand them? Why do you refuse to do your own research?

I'll link it again: http://1847usa.com/1922identifier.htm

What on that page, what we have replied to you, and what you can verify easily with your own eyes don't you understand?

Your "stamp store" person may not know how to accurately measure stamps. However, your scan in your "Unique" thread very easily shows how your 556 is actually considerably shorter than the two rotary 636 stamps next to it.

Why do you continue to not understand basic logic. This is why I question your motives.
