Would You Change A Stamp Design..?

Hi guys...Take a look at my Scott #72 stamp...Look at the ugly "G" at the bottom on the left side..Sort of out of place..Take a look at the same stamp where I changed the "G" on the right stamp to a more eye pleasing "G"..Do you agree..??

Is there any other stamps you can think of that a change would have made it better..??

It does seem curious, especially since in both examples the "G" in "POSTAGE" shows the extended line in the "G", too. One would think the printing would be consistent.

If you really want to flyspeck those stamps, take a look at:

The "E" in "POSTAGE" which has a very short bottom line; versus
The "E" in "EIGHT" which has a medium bottom line; as compared to
The "E" in "CENTS" which has a very long bottom line.

Sometimes I think these anomalies may be intentional (perhaps to thwart counterfeiting) by making subtle changes to the design. It seems to me no professional printer would miss seeing those easily spotted design elements were it not intentional.

Beautiful...




Ugly...

Ringo...Did you change it..If so I am impressed..

And shouldn't you stamp have a "G" where the circle is and not a "C"..??



wt1...If I ever need a apprentice to hire for forensic investigation (fyspecking)...I will call you...

Not only that...look what is the focal point of the stamp..The queens ear..Older stamps had the Queens face as the focal point.

Perhaps we should start with this: #85 (100 years later)

Scotland almost went grey as well, a couple of months back!

I'd certainly change this...

Ringo...this thread is becoming a "wheres waldo"....haha

Nice topic Wert. Very funny Ringo!

I'm looking at the seeing eye dog - and well - I'm not seeing the change.

HINT...Look at his back legs...

You would make a terrible "flyspecker"...haha

Any kind of better colour assignment and better "trapping" of the layered colours could have saved this banana stamp and its transparent weathervane.
