Dull gum is sometimes called Dry gum or matte gum to avoid confusion with Dull gloss gum. Dull gum was first issued in 1971 for the Prominent Americans issue and by the late 1970s was used for most regular printings. The new experimental gum solved problems with sticking in humid climates and eliminated the need for interleaving in booklets. At that time all dull gum was PVA (polyvinyl acetate). However, with shiny gum it had always been easy to tell them apart from used, now it had become a little tricky. As the expression goes, a picture is worth a thousand words so computer enhanced photos follow to better explain. One way is to turn the stamp over and use an ordinary light bulb or flashlight. Simply shine the bright light at a glancing angle across the back surface of the stamp to pick up any tiny shadows in the gum. You may be surprised to find that dry gum on this issue has distinct diagonal ridges, as seen below. The peaks and valleys run at about a 45° to 50° angle and a magnifier can be used if still not clear. These gum ridges wash off when soaked, so un-gummed and used stamps are clearly flat in comparison. Used stamps are flat no ridges Dry gum showing faint ridges Computer enhanced ridges Ridges sometimes run this way 1401dg 1401v six-cent 6-cents $0.06 .06 6¢ Please read this before bidding on this auction Stock photo.
