Hi everyone,

I submitted this on the main forum but didn't realize there was this one, so I wanted to post it here as well.

I was going through some cut squares recently and noticed some interested things and wanted to see if anyone could shed some light on if these are known errors or freaks?
Picture number 1 - V neck?
Picture number 2 - Very heavy ink. Bled through heavily on back
Picture number 3 - No Ink?
Picture number 4 - Circled color shift
Picture number 5 - Lots of color shifting around border
Picture number 6 - Red Eye

All are inking freaks except the albino. Albinos of postal stationery, however, are considered freaks in terms of value. Inking freaks add interest but seldom any additional value. Albinos, on entire envelopes, have a fair market value of $2-$10 depending on the underlying stamp impression. Circular die albinos are very common.

Blazenstar, when you find the "G" missing the crossbar double check where the tip of the bust points. "G" without crossbar is not a guarantee that you have the scarcer die.
