2d Plate 4 - "P" flaw

Post by petrod »

I find the apparent randomness of both the incidence and quality of this flaw to be highly frustrating. I provide images of three stamps, P.14, which all exhibit the flaw quite markedly, but which also show a substantial break at the bottom of the "O". (On the unit "OA" Osborne attributes this to burr rub.)

Any comments?
