re: Dots on Letter on 374

Is it just me or are the words One Cent not perpendicular to the rest of the horizontal lines of the design? It looks like the right side is higher than the left. Which would mean that the transfer roll wasn't aligned properly.

Great find!!!

I can't really tell.

I think perhaps your eyes are much better than mine!

Anyone else?

can you consolidate your posts so that we don't have 4 different EFOs on a single stamp, #374. "Reply" would do the trick rather than creating 4 new posts.
