I bought this from a well-known dealer with no mention of the green back. What is going on here? I've never heard of anything like this before.   |

Appears to be some kind of ink flood and a kiss print. Clearly the positions were numbered while it was still a complete sheet. |

This clearly has a second impression, but doesn't really look like a normal double impression. I hadn't considered that it might be printer's waste. |

I don't think it is a kiss print..Looks more like a Fresh Entry Quote:
a 'fresh entry' a stamp must show evidence of a previous design that for some reason was 'erased' from the plate by burnishing, and a new, or 'fresh,' entry was applied in its place As per Ralph at re-entries.com https://re-entries.com/terms.html#freshRobert. |

That is relating to Canadian stamps. I have never seen the term "fresh entry" used in any reference on US stamps. I have seen "double transfer" or "re-entry" used to describe the phenomenon described here. However I do not think that is the case here. This appears to be an inking variety rather then a plate variety. |

Odd in that only the frame lines appear doubled. I'd vote for printers waste that was possibly layed in ink to cover the back. |

Interesting. There must be 99 other examples out there. This stamp is position 16. |

Also interesting that someone actually had a handstamp Pos. Why would that have been available? |

I paid lot for this one thinking it was a 498d. . .wondering if I overpaid (or maybe got a bargain on something special)? |

I love it. Very cool and unique. I feel as if there is a story here to be told. Who knows about value but I want to follow this story as it unfolds. |

Though it is cool, I'm probably going to return it. It's not a 498d and probably not worth anything near what I paid for it. Does anyone know of an expert that I could check with before returning it? |

Somehow I suspect that the dealer did not miss it, he just misinterpreted it, either accidentally or deliberately depending on the dealer. |
