Need Help: Perf Variety Or Someone Playing With A Scissors On 2cent Washinton

Request any assistance on figuring out what the perforation anomalies are (printer waste, perforation error, someone cutting perfs with a scissors, etc.) on the pictures I will post. The odd perfs look "sawtooth"? I have not seen anything in Scott specialized on this but could use some thoughts, guesses, or hey stupid...it is blah.

This is the second perf anomaly. Let me know ur thoughts.
Thanks in advance!

It looks like someone practicing perf manipulation in both cases, but I await confirmation from our experts.

Thanks for the rapid reply. Yeah... I wondered that "manipulation" on the first one. The 2nd one seems to be more like a reperf?

The first one just looks like a misperf to me. Maybe the picture is not clear enough?
The second one looks like it was scissor cut.

Pinking shears?

Speaking of poor quality of pic; I am new to this Stamp community. Any tips on posting higher quality photos, I would appreciate. I had to get the image below 300KB per site rules on images.

Hi mljespe and
You'll get a much larger image if you crop to just the stamp, nothing else. You could have typed everything on the paper scraps.

Definitely someone playing with a scissors.

The three cent is more interesting; I suspect that the top perfs are fake. But better scans would help.

rev collector is spot on both items. there are meany varieties of craft type scissors out there that will produce some very strange shapes out there.

A better "cropped pic" without my crude drawing
(Thanks for the tip on how to upload a slightly better pic)

I have not seen pinking shears nor scissors with a tooth count that small. However, I agree the left side of "perforations" are not original as issued on the 2 cent.

Edit (got called away):
As to the 3 cent, the known compound perforated stamps of the series (does not include the 3 cent) are due the changing of one individual perf 12 to perf 10 devices. No perf 12 x 11-on-one-side are known. Likely someone had fun with the top. That said, other than the close cut at top, the perfs don't jump out as fake due to size nor spacing but lack of "fuzziness" along the paper edge is wrong. Compare those whole arcs edges with the arc edges of the other three sides.

They jump out because they are all identical shapes and sizes. Also they are different from the perfs on the other three sides.

Here you go. Available at any Walmart for $10

I think the 3C stamp is re-perf'ed on top. I'm not to sure the bottom perfs are good on the 2C. Maybe someone practicing their re-perforating technique/skills?
