Hello members,

Back again with some more stamps. I found this stamp with a line that it looks like a indentation or a crease on the stamp. I'm not an expert on stamps, this is why I'm counting are you guys. Please advice. Thank you Mara.

I observed a indented line on the stamp
Where the R.I. is, you can see the front and back pictures

A better image would be helpful.
I think you want to know if this was a pre-printing fold and if it adds value?

If you can scan it so that we can zoom into the central RI area, plus the left side, we can tell whether it is a slight paper fold from pre-printing or whether it is an accidental fold after use. In either case, not much added value (if any), and some would consider it a damaged item.

Please, in your first post, be more explicit about what you are asking for. For instance, "Hey guys. I found this stamp with some type of fold in the middle. Is this normal? If not, what could have caused it?"

Not a better image, but for me an interesting stamp.
Also the precancel printing seems to be influenced by the fold. Certainly interesting to some collectors. Would be nice to see it in a good image quality.

It looks like the precancel bled a little into the fold. We definitely need a good scan to comment further.

Hello Peter,

I dont see any other stamps with the cancellation in the folded area. Can you further advice. Mara

I do not know what you are asking - you have a stamp with a paperfold which is not unusual and not generally sought after as an EFO.
Also, your stamp is pre-cancelled - we do not usually call it a cancel
