I know that this is a known variety. The phosphorus missing that is. So how can I tell ?
I already had a bad incident where I soaked 2 joined 1 pound gold stamps and the ink ran.
Does this have a watermark and is fluid safe ?
Also is this a cancel from a FDC ? Thanks.
Again my apologies about the photo. The scanner is being shipped in 2 days. Thanks.
Too bad it's damaged. It's an interesting stamp but don't know much about it.

The Concorde stamp has two vertical phosphor lines running around 5-7 mm into the stamp. If you angle it to the light they will show up as dull bands compared to the rest of the stamp, assuming you do not have an UV light.
There is not a watermark.
This stamp does come with missing phosphor and missing colours but basic stamp is of minimum value and as yours is damaged it is needing replacing.
It is fluid safe if you are using plain water, no need to use anything else as it had water soluble gum.
As to the USA stamp someone else will have to comment as I have no knowledge but as you say badly damaged.

I recently came across this stamp in a parcel I received. I know these stamps have security features but not real clear on the phosphorus feature.
