On the question about whether it is CE and worth CE money, I've heard knowledgeable people argue both ways. My personal knowledge is that the Appoved stamp doesn't prove that it's CE, especially with the QJLS and Q-Megas. I own a few of the single-color stamp QJLS's that I think are CE and a few that are not CE. Based on my experience (and I'll probably be contradicted by some self-sainted expert) if it's a single-color stamp and not totally opaque, then it's not CE.
It doesn't look like the one in the pic is totally opaque, so I think it's not CE.
The only sure bet with these things is the two-color bubble stamp. Anything else is just speculation and opinion.
Contacted Zamson via PM and got some reliable info. I learned some stuff I did not know. FWIW, I consider Zamson the best source for Mill CE info.
I PM'd this question:
Do you consider the opaque QJLS's with the silver "Appoved" stamp to be CE?
Why or why not?
Thanks!
Zamson says:
"I'm gonna go with a pretty confident YES on those descriptors being the CE QJ. With QMega and QMS, the Appoved typo lived on past the CE run, but with QJ, it was fixed after the 1st run. And only the 1st run AND 2k Test Runs of QJ were opaque. Some marked J, some QJ.
