Hi to all

This was in the 544 George V stamps that I purchased recently

It is a 2d from a booklet, watermark inverted.

But it looks like it may have suffered from ink stripping.

The postmark has left an impression of ink on the white area

Unfortunately it is a very messy stamp.

What do others think.

Looks more like wear.

Hi Rob

Thanks for that, wasn't sure

Have been sorting all the 2d that I received the other day
