South Australia Scott 105 Over Inking??

Afternoon all,
So today is a slow day at work and I am sorting through my meager South Australia collection and noticed my 105 (perf 13) looks a little like QV had some heavy lines drawn on her face. Does this look like a simple over inking to everyone here? Sorry for the low quality cell phone picture, don't have a scanner here at work..

Having a bad day not being able to read my Scotts...

Sure looks like over inking. Striking nonetheless!

dh,
Scan too poor to comment,
Sc#115 is carmine or scarlet
To identify we need Wmk.

Thank you Rod I am having issues reading my Scotts today. It is a perf 13 with a watermark 72 so it should be a 105. I'll try to get a scan tomorrow to let everyone get a good look.

dh,



That stamp does not appear to exist.




I am nervous too, it is rather easy to make an ass of oneself in Philately,
esp when Scott one has to read backwards for Wmk ID
Easy to miss a listing.

If you care to check your Perforation, and Wmk shape, I'll check Gibbons and translate it back to Scott.

No need for concern, it's all fun.

Thanks so much Rod that is why I really enjoy these forums, everyone here has been very helpful and understanding of us novices.

And upon further of my reading in Scott.. I realize I cannot read numbers, it is with a watermark 73 with the 'SA' close and a perf 13 that I double checked twice earlier.
I've got lots to learn for sure and to always do a preview of my post before making a total ass out of myself
I have also noticed that my used Gibbins 2000 edition part 1 is really used since it is missing almost all of the Australia section...

This stamp was issued in 1895. The shading lines do seem to have been over-inked, quite a fascinating variety, I have one that has a shading line (1937 2d sesquicentennial anniversary of NSW), but it isn't as prominent as your South Australian stamp.

Willie,
Take it all as fun, each mistake we make, we go forward.

So it is Sc#105.
I'll check all my type A6 stamps for similarities.

Here is all the South Australian Stamps Type A6 .............



Opinion:
Fairly common, in fact yours appear to be lightly over inked, some are really extraordinary, esp between the shading lines.
I need to check my Wmks before posting images.

Willie,
if you "edit" your original post, you can change the heading to "Scott 105"
instead of 64

This will assist future students, and make you a good member.

Give it a try, you only have 24 hrs to do this.

Thanks for all the help Rod, I have lots to learn and 99.99% of the time have no problem admitting my mistakes.

Rob- yes I thought it was an interesting example and thought that I would get a good amount of feed back from y'all. I was not let down.

Bobby- thanks for the first second I got it in a lot of MH stamps a few months ago and haven't had the time to really enjoy them as well as this one.

Thanks to all again!

Willie some in my collection.
Notes:
1. The 1875-1876 Issues, have clear, crisp impressions...no over inking (no plate wear ?)

2.1893-1895 issues, we begin to see radical wear or over inking, (none as bad as your stamp on the Queen's neck) often the Queen's nose is very bad.

3. Only seen 1 stamp really "Green", the rest all appear to be blue-green,
possible light damage over the years, 1 stamp has lost all its green pigment and appears blue.

Sc# numbers and details labelled.
Cheers

as I said earlier here is a better scan of my over inking example...only took me 7 days.





Thanks again Rod and Rob for all of the help.

Was the stamp relief engraved? "Typographed" is the word the Scott catalogs use for this, meaning raised design rather than recessed design.

The stamp appears to have been printed from a plate in relief, or typography. Excess ink in the valleys between the slightly raised metal would explain the filled-in appearance.
