Hello everyone;
First ,I was really was amazed at all the interest in this stamp and I didn't think I would be doing any more threads.
So I think this thread would be nice to finish with.
Here is something I found out about this stamp and will let people decide for them self's.
The first thing I found out which blew me away.
Was that I did get a good picture of the the stamp with a artifact on it I didn't see before.
This may be the reason why The Philatelic Foundation said it was a 439 on the certificate and why no watermark was mentioned ?
Anyway right or wrong its interesting to see what you didn't see before.


The first pic is the artifact.
The second pic is a 420 with a watermark.


The third was a pic of the artifact stamp using a different lighting technique to bring out the layer of ink.

I don't know if you see what I see but it looks to me like ink bled through the paper.
If you can see from the last pic the ink is "very light" right were the artifact is positioned .Plus if you look at the second image of the 420 with the watermark is much darker not so orange.
This may or may not mean any thing but what is important is how I got the first image which was very cool.
The way I did it was I had a black ceramic plate and I put it in the sun till it was 100* and put the lighter fluid on the plate, and put the stamp on the plate and sure enough there it was a watermark or something.
That blew my mind!!


Thanks for listening
