Well there Mike — much appreciated on the reply .... little bummed as I found it in an older tin and that first weird symbol on the first line of red — I thought for sure I had something— I thought it was some sorta message that was hidden //anyways - thanks
While there is microprinting on many stamps, and even others have hidden pictures, scents and such gimmicks (not just US stamps), this stamp is not one of those.

Is it an error, no
It is a freak that was caused by the pad that applied the blue ink not being wiped clean or being over-inked.
Is it valuable, no
What to do with it, keep it as a freak or use it for postage.
