2¢ Carmine 6LL81

  • The bottom line of the left numeral box is doubled.

  • A defective transfer of the bottom frame.

Research notes:

While not discussed in his book, Marler's personal collection had additional CPVs, usually with multiple examples.

This item could also have been listed as a Plate Flaw in Zone 3.

Leo's Notes

  • Thickness of the bottom frame varies noticeably, especially on the left side.

  • The lower part of the vertical and the bottom line of the LNB are very thin.

  • Bottom line of the LNB doubled. Might be classified as a re-entry because of the doubling, but it is more likely a retouch.

  • The horizontal lines between the LNB and the C in CENTS are retouched. The vertical shading lines are missing in this area.

Dot in right margin at midpoint. The dot is near the centre of the margin so it may be perfed out.

Guide dot in left margin at midpoint.

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.
