Flat plate printing is engraved. Offset is not.
It appears like the stamp on the left is offset, and the other is engraved (sharper image).
To tell the difference from the two, do the touch test.
Gently run a finger nail along the stamp. It is is offset, it will feel smooth. If it is engraved, you will feel the ridges.
