Poem quote is not her work, it was authored by Joan Walsh Anglund but the USPS chose not to reissue a corrected version of the stamp nor concern itself with the cultural misappropriation either. Times were so, so different way back in 2015.  |

Pretty amazing that they would leave it and not correct! I'm suprrised that Joan Walsh Anglund's estate did not make a stink either. |

However, the 89-year-old Anglund took the mistake in her stride, "I think it easily happens sometimes that people hear something, and it's kind of going into your subconscious and you don't realize it," She did not have an estate until 2021. |

Here is an error sheet of #1470 8¢ TOM SAWYER that I acquired a few years back.  |

klawbohr,
On your 3 cent Columbian,
Since cracks tend to wander, would not the faint straight line through 1892 more likely be a residual layout line?
And the small extra ink in the "I" be caused by some transient piece of debris like lint?

Becker; I would have thought so, but I have a friend who has one of these as well, however his copy shows progressive damage to the plate, i.e. his was worse than mine.
But I have been wrong before
The "I" is not part of a plate crack, Debris is accurate.
