Does anyone know when or if Scott #1029 7y Pole Lanterns at EXPO sheet stamp was reissued as a Die-cut stamp? A date of issue or a Scott or Sakura number would be most helpful.
Here is a copy of the Die Cut stamp that was sent to me. It has the same design as Scott #1029.
Here is a copy of the Sheet stamp - Scott #1029
I have searched the Scott and Sakura catalogues, done an image search on the internet and have come up empty handed. All I can find are the sheet stamps issued in various formats on June 15, 1970.
Thanks for your help.

Usually when there is that single line across a stamp, it comes from a sample, publication, booklet cover, advertisement, etc. The line serves to invalidate the image from being used for postage.
There are scissors available that make cuts like that. There is some evidence that may point to it having been cut with scissors. On the right vertical side, the cut is wider at the bottom than at the top.
I can't see if the bottom and left sides are imperf. From the three booklets that I have with this stamp, the stamp is imperf on the top and left, top and right, or right only, or left only.
The stamp was released in sheet format, souvenir sheet, and a few different booklets. I have never seen it as a self-adhesive, which was not common in 1970. My guess would be that it came from an advertisement for the fair, or an advertisement for the stamps issued for it.

Thanks for your input. When I saw the line on the stamp I was suspicious that it wasn't an actual postage stamp.

I am trying to help a friend identify a Japanese stamp and I've almost given up trying to find information on this stamp. Perhaps one of our members has run across this stamp can shed some light on it's existence.
