[QUOTE="moreotherstuff, post: 74325, member: 56"]I don't know about counterfeiting, but I see the variances as an attempt at making the border look more 3-D. There is a 2-cent orange Jackson stamp that apparently dates to 1870 and uses the same portrait. What has me wondering about your stamp is the width of the white outer borders. (I've been buying stamps like crazy lately, which is weird because I don't collect stamps. They're not even real stamps. They're things called cinderellas, or poster stamps, or labels - non-postal souvenirs or promotions for this or that. And it's the fault of all of YOU! There I was, innocently looking for something that someone or other had asked about, when I chanced on a 1926 philatelic conference souvenir and that's what started me off.
