classic coins -- That is a really beautiful example of the spider crack!

Here is an example of the so called "quad flaw" on Scott #26 -- position 18L28.

ioagoa, Very nice #26s! I especially like the "quad flaw." I have some of the flaws, but none as dramatic as yours. Thanks for showing the flaw and the cancels.

I don't have much time these days to participate here but saw the 47R7 stellate plate crack and thought I would post mine. I have posted it before but it has been several years now. Multiples with the 47-48R7 plate crack are very nearly as rare as rocking horse manure.

sinclair2010, That's an amazing 47-48R7 pair! I've never seen 48R7. Do you know if there are any other pairs in existence?

That's quite a pair. I used to have the two positions as singles, but I don't recall seeing a pair.

Also, I always knew of this as the stellate crack. Where did the spider crack term originate?

A collector with the initials of RL has the two in a strip of three. Those are the only two multiples that I am aware of and may represent the total population.

It was written on the front of the cover when I bought it. I've owned the cover since 2001, so I adopted the name written on the cover, and never saw it called by anything else until today.

I've traded with RL before. I have a lot of stamps plated by him.
