Yes, it is a very nice item. I just find it funny about the repairs when there is incredible hand wringing and value drop for US stamps when there is any flaw all. A short perf, disturbed gum, a tiny crease, a gum wrinkle and wham.

rogdcam. I agree with pricing of US stamps and others, where a repaired item or slight fault would convince many to keep searching for a better unadulterated copy at the same price. However, in this case, this is possibly unique with the only other two known items punctured with OS, and one of those in the Australian Royal Collection. (I would still like to see a good scan of those to see the quality of the double print ...)

So my goal in getting it repaired was only to make it a more presentable piece for my collection. Someday it may be sold, and we'll let the market decide on the right price. Until then, I'll keep searching for its twin and hope that I am the one to find it before someone else does ...

Go to re-entries.com and check their glossary for a good explanation of kiss print and other terms.

Kiss print is what is sometimes called double impression :-). At least if you look into Scott and Siegel sales. But some more recent certificates seem to call more kiss prints and less double impressions (or double prints).

Jimjung is correct, it is a "slip print"

Robert

BTW Partime...I fixed the 2 holes in the stamp for you..see below...haha



Partime..Your stamp with a double print, I believe it is a slip print..Your stamp next to a real slip print..Same indicators.



Here is an example of a true double print..



If you want to check the terminology, go to the link below..
