2¢ Carmine 6LL27

A distinctive retouch of the vertical line of the left numeral box.

Research notes:

Confirmed by LB using the plate proofs at LAC.

Leo's Notes

Slight thickening of the bottom frame below the left side of the LNB. There is a horizontal white line in the middle of the retouched area and the frame extends slightly into the left margin.
The left side of the left frame appears weak opposite the bottom of the LNB.
The bottom half of the vertical line of the LNB is thicker than the top half.

Guide dot on the right side of the left 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.
