To check the progress of an engraved stamp a proof would be made from the master die to see what errors there were. Using this method made it possible the final version of a stamp was as good as possible. As many errors were caught during the production of most stamps there are many unique and valuable die proofs available if you can find them which also makes it really interesting area of philately to study.
