 3c Green, Kiss Print nee
Double Impression (158 var). Rich color, light strike of cork cancel
leaves distinct doubling of design clearly visible, faint diagonal crease
not mentioned on accompanying certificate, Fine appearance, a rare example
of this variety, with 1978 P.F. certificate describing this as Scott 158j
Double Impression, the most recent (2005) certificate describes this as a
"kiss" impression and so we must now reclassify it as such, we are somewhat
at a loss to understand how kiss prints are created from engraved flat
plates, with 1978 and 2005 P.F. certificates
