With respect, my opinion is "mis-registration"
If there is a colour bar on any selvedge of this issue, it should tell you what colours were involved in the print run.
If the flag red were made up of say fawn and scarlet screens perhaps, then this would get this effect with mis-registration.

Took a look at the thread in the other forum, excellent. Huge amount of time and effort you've put into it. Thanks for sharing it, I really enjoyed taking a look at all of the diff. (what look to be) constant varieties/anomalies you've found.

Thank you, Rick. It all started when I bought 20 lbs of
small Canada on paper. I was looking for the beauty mark
variety when I spotted a dot on her nose. I started looking
the stamps over very carefully after that and the thread is
the result.

Just looked down and noticed this error, or what ever it should be called. This Russian Nicholas had been tossed in a pile of damaged stamps by my computer when I was preparing my last auction. Figured a surface tear or scuff had removed the ink on the lower left side. Something just made me pick it up and have a look with my loupe. There is no scuff. The paper on the white spot is intact, with no damage. For some reason (schmutz on the plate?) the image is absent from that spot.

Looks like an EFO to me James, a piece of chad has found it's way on the plate and obstructed the ink transmission. Not a common variety I should think. Nicely spotted.  |

Actually, that big white hi light on his forehead is one as well. There should be continuous lines of tone there.

The thing that would worry me James,
is the apparent loss of imprint of the left hand Postmark,
this is a concerning assumption that there is a printing error,
if the Pmk was clear over the damage, the print error would be irrefutable.

I see what you're saying Rod.
I don't know what is supposed to be on the postmark at that spot. I do see the period beside the blank spot on the stamp. On the other hand what ever letter was supposed to be there doesn't appear on the printed part of the stamp above the error. That letter of the postmark appears to be under-inked. If the postmark stopped right at the edge of the error, I think it would definitely indicate a surface tear. The poor inking makes it vague.
And as I wrote earlier, the surface of the paper does not appear to be disturbed.
This one may remain a mystery for a while.

Do we know enough about old imperial Russian stamps to know when the gum was applied? Was printing done on gummed paper? If so, perhaps a blotch of gum made its way to the front of the stamp before printing. The stamp image (and the cancellation) would have then been applied over the gum blotch. When the stamp was soaked off the envelope, the gum would have come off, along with the printing that was applied over top of the gum.

Never seen that considered before. Entirely feasible. Shall keep that under the "misprint" file. |

I finally got around to mounting the Lighthouses with white omitted error. Interesting terminology, 'white omitted error'. In the UK it would most definitely be 'Value omitted' error. Is this how Scott list it ? |

Scott lists 2472a as "Bklt. pane of 5, #2470-2474." It lists 2472b as "As "a," white ("USA 25") omitted"

If any of you can help me on this one. I was playing in Israel and came upon this stamp. I looked and looked and looked and finally had that doh moment when I realized the red was omitted. If you have any value, if any, could you let me know? Thanks in advance.
The stamp on the left is Scott #127 which is correct. The second stamp in the one in question. If you have any information, I'd love to hear your thoughts. |

You need a member that has a Bale catalogue to check there. www.bale-catalogue.com/ |

Rod, thank you for that bit of information. Appreciate it.
I understand Israel doesn't have too many errors. Have you seen this error with this stamp?

Rod, thank you for that bit of information. Appreciate it. I understand Israel doesn't have too many errors. Have you seen this error with this stamp? Hi Reena, No I have not. I am fairly ignorant of specialist Israel. Sadly, Israeli stamps were never bilingual, so I found lesser interest with their vignettes, I just didn't understand them. I do collect them, but just regular issues on Steiner pages. Londonbus1 may be able to assist there Reena. |

Mr. Bus is helping. Had one of his contacts look in the Bale catalog and the error was not listed.
Doe is also helping with some of her contacts.
This just has me a little baffled.

Update for this stamp: This was from "triangle" at Doe's site, LPSG "There are a lot of errors of Israel stamps which I have come across over the years. For example Mosden's 1958 catalogue has 18 pages of errors. Most of these are "Fly Spec" errors eg 5mils Dor Ivri has chain variety, eve flaw, flaw above aleph ,flaw above reish, yod obliterated,etc etc and one of the most famous of the early issues is wrong descriptive tabs of the 10/15mils values, where the tab inscriptions are reversed. Later issues have errors in phosphors especially the definitive issues, but also on a few commemerative issues. Another key set is the 12 tribes issue of 1955-56 which has a later printing when 7 of the values have no watermark. The stamp at the start of this thread is the 1957 50th Anniversary of Bezalel Museum stamp. Bale lists the red omitted mint tab stamp at $220. Your looks like used no tab red omitted stamp, so would not catalogue any where near this so I would guess a cat value of $50-100 with a cash value of $15-$30.A normal used no tab has a bale cat value of $ 0.20. The ultimate value is of course what someone would offer for the stamp! Read more: levantphilately.proboards.com/thread/97/missing-color-on-scott-127#ixzz44VhCXqVX" So it looks like I don't get to retire, but many thanks to all for supporting me and helping me find the answers. |

This 30 cent Reserve Lithograph Company major design type 3 stamp (RE-30c-9B) is missing a major element of the design; specifically, the two lines of text normally printed at the bottom of the Consumer's Receipt (i.e., "OHIO CONSUMER'S RECEIPT / RESERVE LITHO CLEVELAND, O."). This is an actual production error, rather than a case of under-inking or of the stamp being miscut. An image of the error follows (RE-30c-9B (J)), along with a normal copy for comparison.  |

The pre-print paper crease is one of the more dramatic in the older stamps.  |

Jim do you have these images stored? I somehow find little energy to pull stamps for scanning.Nice stuff especially that used block,makes me drool.Can't imagine what they mailed that cost forty cents.

Post by jimjung on Apr 5, 2016 10:19:04 GMT
frog, Oh yes, I always scan most of the stamps that make it into my collection and keep the scans as organized as possible. When you choose a subject like EFO's, my scan library is full of useful images as my collection is based on Flaws or Oddities of any kind.
Not often but people used to mail things that weighed much more than a letter so the 40c cost is not that uncommon. This became more popular, which is why the larger denomination 15c Large Queen and 20c/50c Widow Weeds were released. Even the $2 Jubillees were used quite often and by the time the Admirals came out, the $1 stamps were commonly used.
The older stamps are nice for collectors who like the older stamps but the Modern Errors seem to have tremendous value.

Jim,I was on an error run for couple years.It ended up costing me a lot of money topping off with the seaway invert.I kinda lost interest when tagging errors became the majority of EFO listings.Still a couple I look for in old collections that are elusive.The thrill of the hunt continues.
