Each of us has our own way of determining what we think is a flaw or error or variety.
My criteria is that if I can see it with my naked eye, then I will re-examine it with a ten X jeweller's Loupe and then decide it is a variety, or I am just fly specking.
The following are some of the hundreds of stamps that I have found whilst re-housing, and I still have not finished which will be a long ongoing project.
Unfortunately most are Used.
I would appreciate all opinions on my criteria, whether I am being to harsh, or optimistic.
The 1st item is a well known flaw of Halepence which is ACSC 89(22)i
The second item would it be classed as a "tin shed" or just a variety?
The 3rd item George has a very bad case of mange on parts of the top of his head.
The 4th item has a lovely scratch running through the wattles to the top of George's head.
The 5th item is very messy, is this just under inking or a type of "Tin Shed".
As I am re-housing, I will take time out to check and see if I can find any of the other items in the ACSC.

And there I was thinking, "How nice to
have all genuine postally used examples. "
