I was going over a pack of US Flag Stamps Freedom Liberty Justice Equality stamps and came across these two:



The USPS in the lower corner of the flag is very light, but looks like it ways USPS. One thing that seems odd to me is the two light printings seem the same.


I've tried to photograph this as well as I can, but it's really small. Below are the same stamps with a normal one for comparison:



any thoughts?

thanks

Can you show a bit better pictures? Like just the two stamps on a black background?

The stamps come in 24 different varieties, which could explain differences you are seeing. Further, I believe the micro print was done in gray, not black, which is why you are saying "the light printing looks the same." It's supposed to be the same light color, because it is not black.

This reviews the varieties:
