2¢ Carmine 13UL11

A barely discernable retouch of the upper right vertical line.

Research notes:

Based on Leo’s observations, we may need to find an example in a plate strip to get an accurate image.

Leo's Notes

  • Defective transfer – UR (Marler illustrates this in Figure II.21, but does not mention it in the text. Figure II.22 illustrates the same stamp according to its caption, but the weakness due to the defective transfer is no longer apparent. The stamp was apparently expertly retouched after the plate proof was made. Presumably Marler wanted to show this, but nowhere does he mention the retouching in the text.)
  • The corner of the UR spandrel is weak. This affects the crown and the horizontal lines in the corner. The top frame is a bit thinner than normal in the UR corner.
  • Guide dot in the centre of the right inner oval.

We use Statser to measure basic website usage without cookies. The system processes page views, clicks, form submissions without form contents, referrers, browser/device information, error pages, approximate visit duration, and pseudonymous visitor keys. Full IP addresses are not stored permanently by Statser; they are processed briefly on the server to create a pseudonymous visitor key, apply technical exclusions, and optionally resolve approximate GeoIP information. If GeoIP is enabled, the IP address is checked locally against a MaxMind GeoLite2 database to determine the approximate country or city. The visitor IP address is not sent to MaxMind. MaxMind is contacted only to download and update the GeoLite2 database. Detailed data is deleted after the configured detail retention period. For long-term trends, Statser also stores aggregated daily values without individual visitor profiles.
