On this coil strip showing the "narrow one" there also seems to be some sort of error on one of the other stamps second from the right.

Can anyone shed any light on this? Has anyone else seen this before?

I'm more interested in the narrow one. Can you show this feature in more detail?

Thanks, Black Jack for showing for detail, much appreciated. And yes the narrow 'one' is the left tablet middle stamp. The detail I've not seen before is on the face of GV on the line of the beard - 2nd from the right stamp and appears to be some sort of error or re-touch? Any help here would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks to all so far!

I am still hoping for anyone who has seen this beard flaw before. If it was to be listed in Stanley Gibbons or Scotts what would they call it? Shaving nick?

Have you tried Ralph E. Trimble's web-site, Re-Entries.Com?
I have linked to his "Short cut page" where you can find each specific issue.

I think it's just plate schmutz. It's not mentioned in Unitrade, Holmes, Five Reigns, or Robson Lowe. Since it could have a famous neighbor, it's not like it would slip past, unnoticed.

The famous neighbor might help you look for more. 228ii (narrow "one") will often be collected in multiples, so you should be able to look at quite a few online?

Thank you Littleriverphil for the link to the re-entries site and many thanks for Cjd's theory that I am inclined to go with. I agree that such a flaw would have been seen being next to a narrow 'one'. It was one of the first things I did was to have a look at other narrow one strips to see if there was a - I am going to coin it - shave nick flaw. Perhaps this is going to be a unique strip that may filter through time by making appearances all over the world. *** Edited by Staff - Please review the rules that you agreed to when you registered. ***

Thanks for all the interest and help

I was thinking about the "narrow one" next door as a quick means to look for more. I didn't really mean to say that it would more likely to be noticed because of the "narrow one" (though that is what I typed). It's a very eye-catching flaw that leaps off the stamp, and if it was recurring, it would have been catalogued from day two.

It's interesting. I'd definitely keep it.

You're right it is interesting I think I will keep it along with my damaged '2' on the same set which is used - mint ones seem very expensive

I think it's safe to say that the facial mark is not a known or documented EFO. There is an 'extended moustache' variety that shows up for different values even.
