Inside of the letters "S" "E" and "N" there's Purple Ink. And because there's a lady without HEAD and arm (right); I'm thinking maybe that ink is coming from there. Thank a lot for your comments.  |

1934. Can't comment on the "error" without a good close up scan of the areas you are referring to. |

Probably just some dirt on the plate causes the spots in the letters. I do not believe it has anything to do with the 'lady without a head'!

I looked up the stamp and saw that someone pointed out that the plane is not being powered. That is, the prop is immobile. They even call it an error. Are other in-flight planes' propellers pictured this way?
No mention of the 'missing head.' |

I have with me right now stamps of 20; 25 and 40 cents with the same design but different colors. In all of them the head of the 4 ladies is remarkable. the 40 cents it's weak but still there. if I have time tonight I'll take picture of the other stamps also. thank for your comments. |

The only differences I have for this set is the two different printings . That made for a shade difference. Nothing in the design is listed or noted . |

Hello, The Costa Rica stamps I have mostly have purple inked cancels like yours & this ruff one of mine. It might be some of that ink in the letters. Maybe these scans will help a little too. ATB...Jad    |

The ink inside of the letters is 100% same color of the total stamp. My lupe is 15X, this stamp seem like never was used. In 1934, 75 cents was a lot of money. But yes. I checked my other stamps from Costa Rica with the same design; and, ON the face of each there is the Cancel Seal in color purple. In my Country "Guatemala" normal was used only Black o Blue ink for that cancel's Seal. |

Yep I agree. The head of the lady look normal "lighter" than the others. Good to know the price of those stamps was reduced because on those year's 75 cents was a lot of money.
I still believing that. in my post, (stamp), there's color inside of the letters. In areas to be only naked white paper. |
