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.
Comments
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.
