I picked up this one today (cheap - 10 cents). It is the US Scott 572, the $2 US Capital stamp from 1922. It really isn't much to look at, but from the back you can see that someone just didn't know how to align the "perfinator(?)" I think that I see three different strikes.

Probably a scorned stamp collector.
