None of these images shows evidence of a stamp's having been printed on the gummed side. Furthermore, simple logic suggests that, where stamps have accidentally been printed in that way, they will be found in unused, not used, form.

I challenge yourLast post.
How about stamps. With Gum on both sides, they could be attached to envelope, you can still tell if they printed on Gummed side or no.

They all look pretty normal to me. No firm evidence of any gum on the printed side. As was stated earlier, gum on a used stamp is highly unlikely since most users removed those stamps from envelopes. The process of removing usually involves some type of soaking which would remove the gum from both sides. Therefore, you can't really prove a used stamp has gum on the printed side.

Please note that I've soaked many stamps, and a lot of them incorrectly. Sometimes the glue residue in the soaking bath will migrate around a bit, going everywhere. If you take those stamps out of the bath and try to dry them quickly, some of that glue will go just about everywhere.

The best test/picture to show us is two mint stamps, both the same, but one with normal gum and one with gum on the printed side. Show both front and back of those stamps, and maybe from an oblique angle. Good luck.

No one is suggesting that you messed with them. We're only pointing out that someone, somewhere, probably soaked these off envelopes or cut pieces of envelopes. Gum disappears in this case.

Note that now that you have figure out how to post pictures, the next step is to crop them to a much smaller area around the stamps, and to rotate them so that things are upright. That saves on empty space and gives us a larger picture to comment on.

Earlier you posted a 3 ptas stamp from Spain. I took your picture, cropped, rotated, and here is what is left:

If the glossy part is what you think is gum, then you are incorrect. Some inks and textures give you such a gloss. It is not gum.

Likewise, this picture is also normal for these stamps. The nice gloss on the fronts are just the way the stamps were made.
