I would call them badly centered; they have to cut into the design of the next stamp for me to call them a variety. But that's me :cool:.

 

But there could always be a phosphor shift on the 2c???

Thanks JB....I tend to agree.

 

I read a dissertation by one of our more famous Bobers the other day, it peaked my interest, hence I opened some stock books I had not opened for decades....and found some off set perforations!

The paradox of stamp collecting. A perforation shift of, say 1mm, is called badly centred. 3mm would be called a variety. 8mm would be called a spectacular variety.
