Query About An Interesting Hermes Head Stamp

BeeSee - "Aphrodite's Hickey" and "Zeus' Release" would make a great combo.

Every month or so, one of these "one of a kind" plate flaws shows up on Stamp Community Forum. And, true to form, the person submitting the item refuses to listen to reason. There is no way on this green Earth you can change the mind, or educate the true believer.

bookbndrbob - Please enlighten me because no one has been able to provide a photo of an actual hickey that looks anywhere near as perfect as the one on my Hermes head stamp. Are you going to talk nonsense or provide some definitive proof? I don't agree that it was dust or dirt thus making it NOT a hickey. I believe it could be a nail head. I'm just not going to be told something without questioning it which might be your thing. I can only describe what I see under the magnifier, but there is definitely ink within the circle that gives an appearance of a face to me. Judge all you want but you have no clue what you are talking about.

Apophenia.

Yup, that is who he saw in the picture! Thank you Don.

51studebaker - Apophenia? Kind of like how people see a face on the Moon. Is it kind of like the myth of Egyptian God Thoth(Greek Hermes) being the tongue of Ptah? Those crazy ancients! Wait don't modern day humans still drink the blood of the Sun? It's for fun anyway. I enjoy training my eye to things and have thoroughly enjoyed this thread with you guys.
