Let's Talk About Profile Pictures!

Is that too personal or I can ask you what's that special time in your life?

I choose my avatar because of the angled overprint. It is 6* off. As well as way off center, almost to the left margin. If anyone ever noticed it, they never mentioned it.
Last year I read that an angled overprint was an indication of a fake overprint, can't remember where it read that, had Pneumonia at the time.
Anyway, the stamp image was my avatar ever since I joined back in 2014, it's not one of the expensive overprints, and is only seen in this color with an overprint of that color. Only one stamp looks like this. O10xS, one of the third Special Printings. It's on soft paper.

Just a guess, but by this time, I think Continental BNC could care less about how these stamps looked.



Added soft paper

Really interesting stamp and nice looking!

This is one of a few known used in the proper time period. missing the surcharge. There is no value for a used one let alone a full cover.

Interesting piece! Thanks for sharing us!

In reply to your question the profile is just a reminder. This answer probably doesn't even belong on a stamp collecting forum. I was in the United States Air Force stationed on Monkey Mountain in South Vietnam in 1968. The mountain was the highest peak in all of Vietnam. We were just outside of Denang Harbour and China Beach. It was a lush jungled with a lot of monkeys. I had a lot of good times, especially down on the beach and a lot of horrific missions but a lot of young men had it a lot worse.

Today Monkey Mountain is a National Park. Worth a visit if you're ever in the area.

Thanks for replying, rascal! That's an awesome story!
