2¢ Carmine 6LL81

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

  • A defective transfer of the bottom frame.

Comments

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.
