wow stallzer your scans are par excellence! and such a beautiful era/genre for stampcollectors

Stalizer posted 12/08/2017 6:58 pm; Grenada 1938 Seal of the colony; please ell me if there is a flaw or is this a scanning issue.
cNA

Does not appear to be a flaw because you can see the engraving lines underneath the spot.

Thanks shermae and my apologies; I did not know you owned the stamp, as I had directed the question to Stalizer!
Although you are able to see the engraved lines, (perhaps under magnifier) if there is no color, in this case the black dots/lines, does it not qualify to be a flaw?
cNA

IT is my stamp. Not sure what it is but I don't believe it's constant. I checked my Murray Payne 20th edition & SG Commonwealth and British empire literature and neither shows this.

Close up.
