Kiss Print (second printing)
Often mistaken (due mainly to a lack of illustration in any catalogues or publications), this variety is better termed a slurred or double print. It is characterised by:
* Much of the detail in the design is lost due to reduced white space from the double strike and, more specifically;
* Wattle blooms darker and detail lost
* All frame lines narrower and blurred
* Letters of value doubled
* King's head much darker and blurred by lack of shading detail
* Detail lost in shading at base of crown
* Detail lost in shading in front of emu and kangaroo

The example shown here is illustrated with a companion normal stamp and has been verified as a prominent Kiss Print. Additional examples can be seen in Auction 13 on the Phoenix web site and at Steve Irwin stamps in England.
