Germany 100 Years of First Powered Flight in Germany FDC

This is a double-First Day Cover, not only the commemorative stamp but also the definitive stamps (Carnation) were all new issue on 09 October, 2008. But it has a big problem on this FDC, the postage was overpaid. the correct registered postage from Germany to China is 3.75 euro, and it has 3.90 euro on this FDC. What a pity!

Germany FDC - Nebra Sky Disk

It might be more beautiful and intuitive if this stamp had used in letterpress printing. I don't know whether my opinion is correct, Deutsche Post (Germany Post) seldom uses special printing technology in their stamps.
