Just sharing this little collection I have of some neat errors.

1959 - J100 $1 Rotary Press



1973 Commemoratives - 8 cent Rise of the Spirit of Independence - Drummer



1973-74 Regular Issue Coils Perforated Vertically - 10 cent Jefferson Memorial



1966 - 2c Frank Lloyd Wright





1964 - 5c Fine Arts - This error actually suits the stamp, being abstract and all....







1973-74 Regular Issues - 10 cent Crossed Flags

I am somewhat surprised that there are not more of these sorts of errors, considering the number of stamps issued.

Here are two modern freaks from junk kiloware. Debris on either the printing plate or stamp paper blocked most of the value from the booklet stamp. There is no impression on the paper indicating that whatever caused this must have been thin.

A large ink blob must have straddled/appeared on 2 of the flag stamps.
