About this deal

Thanks for starting this thread, Alec. It is interesting stuff indeed, although I am not sure about the controversy part. All I can say about that is that in the year and a half that I have been on TSF, the group always seems to embrace controversy rather than avoid it.

See both stamps again after this transformation. This is fun! Well what passes for fun for a stamp collector, anyhow.

That created a market for counterfeit stamps and, when possible, reusing authentic stamps. Postal organizations responded by implementing several anti-counterfeit measures. Watermarks In The USA Another method that was popular in the late 1800s and early 1900s was the watermark. The paper a stamp was printed on had a watermark that was almost impossible to replicate. If the watermark was not present, the stamp was a counterfeit. What Is A Watermark? Reversed, inverted, reversed and inverted, sideways or sideways inverted, what watermark is present and how it is oriented is something us stamp collectors would like to know. link to USA 1890-1893 Last Bank Note Definitives #219-229 category 1890-1893 Last Bank Note Definitives #219-229

last but not least, if you are trying to get the thinnest possible plastic, buy the least expensive / generic / store brand of bags rather than the brand name Zip-Loc. I think that these less expensive brands will tend to have thinner plastic which is how they can reduce cost and offer a lower price. The plastic needs to be strong enough to protect the stamp and flexible enough to reveal the watermark This is perhaps the easiest way to spot a watermark. The light shows through more easily and clearly where the watermark is located. Hold the stamp up to the light and look for the design. The light will catch the thin part of the paper and the paper will “light up” in comparison to the rest of the stamp. How To Tell If A Stamp Has A Watermark Using Watermark Fluidlink to USA 1898 Universal Postal Union Colors #279-284 category 1898 Universal Postal Union Colors #279-284 The SAFE Signoscope T2 (watermark detector for stamps) is especially useful for finding watermarks that are very hard to see with lighter fluid, especially all European stamps and British Stamps with their various crown and initial watermarks.

Multiple RGB colors: violet, blue, cyan, green, yellow, brown, red and 3 different whites (bright white, soft white and daylight white)

I'm curious about the Morley bright detector, just i'm wondering why it has been kept out of production... Under Enhance on the menu, go to Enhance-Adjust Lighting-Brightness/Contrast. Then increase the contrast to 100 and the brightness to around -85 and this really brings out the image. People can also be exposed to benzene in contaminated drinking water and some foods (although the levels are usually very low). A large variety of watermarks can be found on postage stamps from countries throughout the world. Watermarks were originally used by governments to prevent counterfeiting. A watermark is a design or pattern that is put on paper. It is not part of the design or artwork on the paper or created by the ink used to create artwork, but is actually part of the paper itself. Watermarks are created during the paper manufacturing process. How Watermarks Are Made
