CanadaStamp...It all depends on ink....I have seen these with skinny and thick spires also...Seen this on other stamps, but in my opinion not a true variety..
I am with Robert on this. I believe it is just some missing ink which would make it a freak or an oddity, but not a constant plate variety. A very collectible item nevertheless.
To me, white space is typical of dry ink stuck in the small crevice of the design on the plate for engraved stamps. This dry ink does not make a mark on the stamp paper. This is a possible explanation for this type of error.
