2¢ Carmine 12UR23
Strong scratch in the top margin above PO. The top right corner, including the crown, is defectively transferred.
Leo's Notes
- Outline of the cross, several jewels in the crown, and the UR vertical line are missing.
- The right frame gets increasingly thinner from the base of the cross to the UR corner.
- The top frame appears to be retouched from the right crown to the corner.
Best of the defective transfers to the UR on plate 12.
- Curved horizontal scratch in the top margin from the third A in CANADA to the O in POSTAGE.
- Fainter scratch rising to the right from the third A to the P.
