The next one I found in London, when I was stationed in England!

Is the inverted "2" common?
Can we see a scan of the backs?

The "2" is not inverted, it was done this way so the printers could tell for sure it was handled correctly, as the plate was in negative orientation!
For this posting subject the reverse is of no importance!

Perhaps I could explain it differently, for this posting ID help is not the subject, subject is the screw head and that this is another way to collect the 1898 series revenue stamps.
If the ID was the subject then the reverse side(s) would be scanned and presented, but in this case per the OP not reverse scan not required!!!

Yes Sir I am the person, asking to see the reverse if it's an ID question!

"Lets make a deal!!" Why don't we ALL forget about this rear of stamp stuff. We will post the back of the stamp if we think it adds to the post and you (@1899) will stop asking us about it! This whole thing is becoming very tedious!

Hello David,
This topic answers so many questions I have had in the past about the flat plate press printing process. With the 2 pictures that you have posted with the capture shown in the selvage answers almost all of them. Thank you for sharing. The pictures speak a thousand words.

I have rhetorical question for all involved. I have been thinking about the responses in reference to requesting images of the backs of stamps posted on this forum and it always amazes me how far off the original topic the thread goes.
If you don't want to play ball and post a response to the requester why not just simply say no or just shine it on if it that much of an inconvenience for you?
No one is holding anyone hostage and forcing anyone to do something that will harm them or anyone else. Take your ball and go home. Problem solved.

Yet another way to collect 1898 Revenue Series Stamps flat plate printed but with capture of the screw head in place and tighten in the correct oriention.
These are not rare, but seldom seen.
