I purchased a large amount of these, and found a few with what I perceive as scratches. Here is the best example, which apparently has a scratch from the top to the bottom on the right side, but only a partial on the left side. It is not listed in ACSC (that I could find) and I am thinking that it could have just been a scratch through the post office. What do you think?
Horizontal ... yes ... if the stamp was placed in the correct orientation. I think you are correct, though, that most of the stamped envelopes, in that timeframe, were probably posted with a stamp in the "normal" orientation.
Wow! I just hit 2000 posts. I can only hope that most people feel that they were qualified.
Thanks for the probable cause. Here's one more just to show how "common" they are. Again, not listed in ACSC, but this "scratch" is a little lighter and curved. Onto the next subject ...
