Interesting Cancel On Washington 2c

Hello all Stamp Masters,

do you consider this a collectable fancy cancel? Or is this more common?
Is it worth overlooking the damage?

if this is your thing imo its collectible until a better one shows up. value is nil due to the damage however.i would not buy it.

stars are fairly common, but the star inside of a star is a bit more unusual

Many fancy cancel collectors are willing to overlook faults in favour of the cancel. Like pretty much everything in philately, one collects along one's own tolerances ie its ultimately up to you what ends up in your collection. Stars in stars, as mentioned aren't common, and another plus is yours isn't in black ink. Negatives are (obviously) the fault and the stamp's centering. That said, its an attractive-looking example.
