*** Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. ***
Has anyone seen a Seward stamp that has the Leaf of the flower going thru the oval around the number 2 at the bottom? It doesn't look like it actually cuts but the tops of the leaf appears in the circles of the 2s. Also how about the perf punches on the back.
Thanks you.

Leaves: optical illusion due to underinking in the tablet of the "2" .

Stacking of sheets when damp and under pressure from the weight of the stacking.

The perf impressions in the gum are always a very good sign. Only original gum examples have them. They are commonly found on the Pan American series in particular.

Did the OP's original picture change? I don't see the front of the stamp.
