I captured an image of the "scratch on small 2 variety. Just started collecting Machins, I can't see the scratch, should I be looking on the upper or lower part of the 2? |

The scratch is in the base of the small 2, showing as the magenta "bits" on your scan. The (TYPE I) stamp (thin value & P) can be found with this listed flaw, although it does not exist on U94 & U90 stamps which are from the Wedgwood booklet panes. |

 I think I might be lucky. A letter arrived today with some Machins on the cover. Included was this 2 1/2p. I took a picture but it's not great quality. Under x90 eye glass the dark marks on the small 2 are magenta. |
