Worn plate?

Another silent movie!

I have no idea what press this stamp was printed on, but it looks very much like something we call chill roller doubling. It is traced back to bad roller wiping.

Same... I think you owe it to the community to describe what your question is about rather than just make a circle.

spain_1850 and Petert4522 provide the most reasonable explanation. Stamps that look like that will either be caused by a worn plate or bad wiping.

These are not uncommon, and Facit doesn't even bother to list them for this issue (at least not that I've seen). I have several, as I am sure many others who specialize in Scandinavia also have. They are all characterized by the same basic appearance -- "SVERIGE" poorly printed and the solid background of the number circle is severely speckled.

this has been debated earlier in this post, on page 2.

Excellent, Sorsh! I hadn't gone back to the thread after I had posted on page 1. Thanks for posting the link and your subsequent posts in that thread. It certainly applies to this thread.
