Another EFO (original subject!)
United States of America, Scott number 498
See top margen above "GE" of postage, broken and detached relief break.
see scans and arrow
Flat press printed stamp
close up see arrow
My guess something hit the printing press in that location causing the relief to break and detech it self from the plate.

@1899, regarding the relief break on Scott 498.
"My guess something hit the printing press in that location causing the relief to break and detech it self from the plate.
"
The relief is not used on the press, but rather to make the plates that actually print the stamps. The printing plates are not reliefs. John Hotchner's column in the September Scott Stamp monthly describes the process, as does the introduction in the Scott US Specialized.
I'm also unsure why you qualify the relief break as detached. What would an undetached break be?
