U.S. American Scientists FDC
I misplaced the relevant Linn's. Does anyone know whether the American
Scientists' First Day cancel is a traditional four-bar, or whether it's pictorial? *Dimensions* of the cancel as well would be brilliant. As you can see, I'm running *very* late on my servicing, and have only until 5 May to submit (http://www.usps.com/cpim/ftp/bulletin/2008/pb22225.pdf). -- Joshua McGee ‹(•¿•)› APS, ATA, ISWSC, AFDCS, MBPC, MCC, BPS Pasadena, California, USA http://www.mcgees.org/stamp-offers/ |

On the Gerty Cori stamp, there is a small error in a chemical formula. Cori discovered cori ester, a derivative of glucose. The formula for the chemical is shown on the stamp. The error is in the placement of a line in the formula and does not create a new chemical. The error was discovered by Chemical & Engineering News, which published an image of the stamp, and was first reported by Linn's Stamp News. Blair |

Thank you. Based on the picture and my work in an image program, the cancel is 1.74x the stamp's width and 1.53x the stamp's height On the Gerty Cori stamp, there is a small error in a chemical formula Tragic. More tragic that the USPS is doing *nothing* about it, unlike Canada Post when it recalled the lighthouses. Aren't they supposed to have good fact-checkers now? -- Joshua McGee ‹(•¿•)› APS, ATA, ISWSC, AFDCS, MBPC, MCC, BPS Pasadena, California, USA http://www.mcgees.org/stamp-offers/ |

Based on the picture and my work in an image program, the cancel is 1.74x the stamp's width and 1.53x the stamp's height On the USPS technical information, it states the stamps as 39.6mm x 24.9mm. That means the cancel is 69mm x 38mm (2.7" x 1.5"). Thanks! -- Joshua McGee ‹(•¿•)› APS, ATA, ISWSC, AFDCS, MBPC, MCC, BPS Pasadena, California, USA http://www.mcgees.org/stamp-offers/ |
