Genuine Vs. Trimmed First Issue Revenue Stamps

I am in NYC with a busy day ahead, so party time will have to wait a bit.

In that case I'll have another in your honor.

Then I hope it's scotch. :-)

He also had a "mint" RF16 that was not so mint.

I sent him a note pointing out the obvious purple canx.

He apologized and pulled the lot. I get the impression that he he does know much about revenues and is simply shopping through a Specialized for the highest cat value.

He was polite in his reply and to his credit he pulled the lot. Don't think he even blocked me either




One dram of Lagavulin, coming up!

Why doesn't the second stamp not look like a part perf stamp that is trimmed?

The double negative is twisting my brain into a pretzel, so I'm not sure what you're asking.

Are you saying that you think the second image looks like a trimmed part perf? If so, that was my opinion as well. If that's not what you are asking... what are you asking?

Yes, revenuecollector that is what I'm asking as to me it looks like a part perf that has been trimmed. I know I'm learning a lot here. But that is it. Also I know early stamps were cut with scissors and torn apart by any means as well not being centered all that great but why would it be centered or graded as fine? To me and thats my opinion but I would give it less the average or am I missing something on the centering?
