In person with a good glass, people who have been taught the correct way to examine stamps would catch the drawn in portions. More difficult in average show lighting, of course.

rod222, the alteration consists in portions of the design drawn in as an attempt to resemble a more valuable type. This has occurred on all four sides (see photo). Familiarity with the characteristics of a genuine #24 Type V reveals this clearly.


Thank you very much Dudley,
Amazed at the colour applied, looks so genuine.

To close the loop, it appears that this stamp is from position 95L9 (as called by sinclair). Here's an image of this position courtesy of the Doporto One-Cent Plating Archive for comparison.
