For example, the Denmark circled-value with wavy lines was first issued in 1905 and is still in use today.<br /><br />That said, these designs are generally not used for the complete range of values, whereas the Machin design is. The Machin design is indeed special, but not the longest-running.<br /><br />--Larry RAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5832265585144651156.post-84272181166923760232013-05-26T13:28:53.779-07:002013-05-26T13:28:53.779-07:00From England, but I was only 11years old when my a...From England, but I was only 11years old when my aunt told me that some stamps has been printed incorrectly.

Good luck with your Machin collection and I'm looking forward to regular updates!<br />Just one thing though, I know you've already bought it, but I would really reconsider your paper choice. You may find that the paper is too light to support the stamp hinges you propose to use. If I were you I'd have another browse on line. There's plenty of options to order 160gsm paper on line and have it delivered. I live in the country as well, with the nearest stationery shop one hour's drive away, as is my local printer who sold me proper acid free 160gsm paper for a more than reasonable price. It's only one journey if you order by phone and well worth making the trouble.

It really surprised me to see the blue starting to run!! Your though that it may be a forgery is an interesting one. The stamp does *seem* to be missing ridge detail, but it's difficult to be sure. Are forgeries of Southern Rhodesia prevalent? Can it be worth more? Being on a fiscal cancel its value is a fraction of its regular CV.

Have only heard of Surface printed stamps bleeding most famously the 1883 GB definitives. Purple cancels can be Parcel or more probably Fiscal which I think this is. Looks to me that the cancel didn't run. Wondering if this is a forgery of some type, can you see/feel the ridges which are a feature of Recess Printed stamps?Roger Gilberthttp://www.thingspostal.org.uk/eastafrica/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5832265585144651156.post-51716380982468384922013-01-03T10:15:51.394-08:002013-01-03T10:15:51.394-08:00Ah, thanks for the info, Roger!!Ah, thanks for the info, Roger!!Comic Dayzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01345077149186253534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5832265585144651156.post-3855777289354288812013-01-03T09:55:25.618-08:002013-01-03T09:55:25.618-08:00With the straight edge to the top perfs and the da...With the straight edge to the top perfs and the date of 1931 this pair could be from the second SA Rhodesia Stamp Booklet 2/6d 12 x ½d and 24 x 1d.
