2¢ Carmine 104LR39
"many subjects in which the bottom of the frame was retouched"... "the retouched line slanted away from the frame into the bottom margin… others (include) 104LR38*, in which the length of the line is shorter"
*This is the proper plate description and image for 104UR39, which Marler listed as 104UR38.
Research notes:
Leopold Beaudet determined the position using the plate proofs at Library and Archives Canada and provided the image.
Leo's Notes
- Retouch – engraver’s slip (in Marler, but he gives the position as 38)
- Hairline engraver’s slip in bottom frame. Begins below the right side of the T in CENTS and ends below the 2 in the RNB.
104LR93 has a shorter hairline slip.
