Plate Flaws/Varieties in Belgium Stamp

I have 4 total, 2 mint and 2 used. The only thinkl I notice inlooking at mine is following the N in SPOOWEGEN, there is a fairly noticeable 'dot" to the right of ther "N". The top of the "1" in the year date (14) almost points up at it.

I have a hard time deciphering COB's descriptions of varaiants... some make sense... others, it must be the fact I do not speak fluent French (in fact my French is rudimentary at best)!

I have found your stamp it is 10 Fr Winged Wheel COB SP47 Pos 4.

stainlessb glad I could help, you are always welcome to upload your 10Fr Wingede wheel and others is also welcome to do that I might be able to help with a position. 

COB 57 10 C. Red Brown This one I have no Information, But there is plate flaws, do any one have information of Posision and Plate?

stainlessb Nice copies and the Colour spots and whith errors is always possible to plate, the thing is I do not have acces to plates or litterature, but the stamps yhou show have what it takes to plate stamps, we just need somone with great knowleddge about the early issues. In Denmark with will need 3 copys of a variation to accept it, I show you a Plate Flaw at the stamp I use as Avatar, I found 3 Copies in the red 10 ore and I have 2 in the Green, the Position is Nr 15. in a limited part of the the plates.


Denmark position nr 15, You will see a White dot in the Left top between the flowers.  I ahve a link to a Danish webpage that still exsist but the owner closede it, but you can serarch danish stamp values in it and you can even find my uploads. I give the link under the stamp.

I do like flyspecking!

left stamp- overall looks pretty  "OK" a few  small spots, but, more likely dust  or insufficient inking than a flaw (if a slaw a- very minor ones)

middle stamp- not much that catches my eye

right stamp- not sure what to call it, but the 'beaded" arch , above lower edge, starting below the "L" in BELGIE and ending under the "P" in POSTE, counting the 'beads" from the right, 3 & 4 are almost tied together and actually quite a bit of "noise" under most all the beads.  At 3:00 ornamentation at edge missing  much of the vertical scribing inside the open "C"     last , and perhaps most pronounced, the two "drapes below the right corner, the bottom edge of the right one is missing. the seam inbetween has some breaks (but this could be all be under-inking).  I have look at >100 of the red and the lighter orange-brown variant and found nothing similar. I did notice on the orange-brown, the open "C": on the right pretty much all lack the internal scribed lines

If like many countries- the denomination  frame/circlle, could be blanck so that the same die is used on other denominations  by using different numerals (this is the case on the France Type Sage)

stainlessb and stanley64 Thank you for participating and show and tell what you discoverede.

I might have a little bit more. The thin frame and the missing line and drawing in the right corner of stamp 3 is also one I would mark. Stamp 2 the broken line under B is a keeper, I also markede the P and it is because I think it might be a sign of a worn plate, but for reference I want to keep it in mind, the same with the G in Belgium at the 3 stamp., I also marked the corner and the Yellow cirkel at stamp 2 is what we sometimes call an "Elephant hair", it is a foreigne objekt that has been droppede at the plate, a hair, a piece of papper ec. what it does it suck the ink from an area around the objekt leaving a white cirkel around it

Here is my markings.

That is a great question (about the "R") It appears the artist was Henri Hendrickx and the engraver Albert Doms, so that rules out hidden initials of either of them,

The smiley face I'm not so sure about!?!?

Anyone know?
