Hello everyone!

I have a question about these details on this stamp. Looks like some doubling in a lot of places. The entire bottom frame line looks like doubling, and a lot of other places too. OK, I'm still beginning in the re-entries and varieties study, and I may be EXTREMELY wrong. Some arrows are pointing most of the interesting (to my eyes) details. I put a lot of arrows, and some of them are maybe pointing normal details, but I decided to put some arrows to show almost every detail that COULD be suspicious.

Can it be a major re-entry? Or another variation? Or it's just normal and I'm extremely wrong?

Any help would be greatly appreciated,

CS

I'm not seeing any doubling in those areas. You may want to venture over to re-entries.com and see their examples.

I looked on the website, but there's no noted re-entries of this stamp. Thanks for your opinion!

there are 2 known re-entries on the 5 cents medalions. See re-entries trimble site for examples.

I already saw them. There's known re-entries for the 5 cents but not for the 2 cents.

It's just the print quality. People one times forget that these (and many) stamps were utilitarian disposable pieces of paper not fine art. The printers delivered a quality product but we are not talking about watch making here. You gave the Post Office two cents and they gave you the stamp which you licked and stuck on an envelope which was sent through the mail, received and usually thrown in the trash.

Thank you, rodgcam.

At least, not every people thrown in the trash their stamps, or they'd have been no collectors, no classic stamps.
