So Who's Afraid Of The Indian States?

ah good. then another question for you or A Mac... It seems looking at my stamp compared to the pic, mine, on the upper R portion between the star and the selvage have 3 somewhat round orange dots whereas the plate looks to have them in reverse - not exactly though, but enough to look somewhat opposite. I would expect its more likely to see no ink where there should be some but not ink where there shouldnt be any. make sense??

Stamps4Life, you are getting it wrong.

The orange red dots around evey stamp take the ink from the relief part of the printing plate, thus resulting in the appearance of moniliform chains with alternate colored and white dots.

It is a matter of perspective what you want to see, orange red dots against white background or white dots against orange red background.
Just see the colored dots above the top frameline in your stamp.

Tks. So I'm not sure what I was getting wrong? You mention it's absolutely genuine. Then go on to mention marks in selvage. And mention position. And sunburst criteria. Which I do all get and see. What I then asked about were the circles, which was not addressed.




So I do not understand this either. If you compare the edges from the exterior of my stamp to your plate there is a clear difference. So you should see what I see. The top portion and the right side do not match I think. I do not think it's a question of seeing what one wants to see - at least in this case. However, that being said, I did not know that the exteriors of the area between the stamp and selvage were all unique and created by overflow of ink. So, I guess it's like the Rorschach test. None of 4 borders image will be the same.

SG updates for 2021 from their site. Haven't seen them personally, but as an FYI.

Your stamp(pos.12) is within the blue frame and not outside.Those red spots change from sheet to sheet because of the inking.You don't include those spots for a plating position.

Ah. Thats what I thought but was confused when I was told to look at the top circles.
Thank you for confirmation.

ok, got it done. here's the back:



also, I noticed this on the 1/2a, the lines. Does this make it Laid paper I think? Sorry for the light, its the only way I notice I them.
