It is a guaranteed 3.
My Michel Deutschland-Spezial-Katalog lists only this variety of 3...




The white mark to the right of your 3 would appear to be slightly whiter and might indicate stamp scuff damage during the posting/delivering.

" sorry for the repition of the number eight"
Indeed,the more often it is repeated the more likely it is to be "seen" as that. The fact that there are no stamps of the eight denomination does mean it is a 3 and, as it does not appear in any catalog, means it is either a scuff mark or a transient printing "error" which are not catalog-able.

It doesn't look like an "8" and it isn't an "8".

Deja vu. But if you are really convinced it is an "8", why don't you re-scan this thing and blw it up so we can see it?

Thank you area66, for doing his legwork for him. But at least we can now clearly see that the legs of the '3' end. If this was an '8' the white would continue!

It's a known plate flaw -- MiNr 24 IV (white attachment on the "3").

hello and thanks area66!yes it most be a plate flaw!but it seems when I look in the lupp on the lower part it goes around like a eight but not as brod line as the rest of the eight and when I look at the cansellation that goes ower in microskop there is white loop like a eight on the upper part under the casellation like brod as it should be if it was aktolly a eight from the biggining!so if it is a flaw its misstaken both on the upper part lower part en then the line pointing to the right!here is a bigger scan then!
