Looks like it has been soaked in very hot water.
...or a chemical
I also have 3 that have this strangeness. No idea. ccndd
The same stamp?
I have done this accidentally with several stamps in this series. They wouldn't release from the paper and I kept adding hotter water until they came off. When they dried, they looked just like that.
I'm glad then that I hate soaking stamps!
