I have only looked at a few of the WM40 so far, about 5k to go!

Not seen the one you posted yet, a few of the flaws in this area that I have seen are shown below. All the reference numbers are my own




Tasnaki

This is an important note for this thread.

No one should be under the impression that these flaws will be easy to find amongst only a few stamps - when you find one it's a gem!

16. Scratch right of lower star (Watermark 65)

Thanks Tasnaki

17. White flaws left of lion (Watermark 40 die II)

Not one I have seen as yet.

Do you have any of the ones you are showing as multiples?

Tasnaki

Tasnaki,

Although I have at least two of each of the constant flaws identified and shown here so far, unfortunately not many of them are in multiples (joined pairs, strips, blocks etc. for the readers who are new to stamps).

Of those posted so far, I only have joined pairs for (my) numbers 3, 4, 8, 11, 13 and 14. (Edit: Number 12 is not in a joined pair - it is Number 11)

All of the above have been plated by you (with number 3 still unsure) except Number 11.

Here is the joined pair for Number 11 (upper stamp, shading breaks left of shield) - note that the lower stamp has a red flaw on the right 1.

Thank you for posting the pair, I have 1 copy so far of the colour spot so it is likely to be constant even if only for a short time.




I will keep a copy of your pair on file, it will help with the plating.

Tasnaki.

18. White flaws left of lower star - POSITION 55, Lower left corner of pane (Watermark 65)

19. Horizontal scratches above lion & red flaw below S of SOUTH (Watermark 68 and W w 11).
