I know I should start another post for this but I'm also curious if anyone out there collects tagging "errors". In the next definitive series my wife and I accumulated many of these - shifted tagging, streaky tagging, thin tagging bars, etc. Is there a source that lists prices and rarity for a lot of this "stuff"? There were also varying degrees of brightness of the stamps, even dull or high-bright backs or fronts. Of course a black light was needed for a lot of this minutia. Does anyone actually collect this stuff?

This also makes me wonder just why the 1¢ MacDonald Caricature printed on the gummed side has such a high CV!
If someone wants to make me a decent offer, I might decide to sell it!

"why the 1¢ MacDonald Caricature printed on the gummed side has such a high CV"
I'm curious as well. I just checked it in my 2015 Unitrade and it lists for $1250!! Quite a difference from the $25 that mine lists for. There must have been very few of yours released compared to mine. I'd hold onto it if I were you!! Does anyone have actual release numbers for 460fi and 586d (Unitrade numbers) or 486i and 586d (Scott numbers). The 2015 Scott's lists the second one at $900, a bit lower.

I mentioned this stamp as part of another post and it got me thinking about why this stamp is so cheap. Being printed on gum side means the sheets would have been run through the printing process upside down. One would assume that once this was noticed the stamps would have been destroyed since for postal purposes they are useless. I assume since the price is very low there are large numbers of them out there. I'm curious if anyone knows why - I sure don't! Does anyone have the book on the Centennial series of stamps and can give me any information about this particular stamp. I'm really curious how many were released and Unitrade doesn't give that stat. Scott's doesn't either and also Scott's calls it 460i, not 460fi.
