2¢ Carmine 6LR96

A distinctive retouch and defective transfer of the vertical line of the left numeral box.

Research notes:

The plate position was identified from notes taken by Leopold Beaudet using the plate proofs at Library and Archives Canada.

Leo's Notes

  • The left frame is weak opposite the bottom half of the LNB and thin at the LL corner. There is a white vertical line in its middle.

  • The bottom frame is very thin at the LL corner, and gradually gets to its normal thickness at the left edge of the 2. There is a nick in the upper side of the bottom frame below the right edge of the 2.

  • The bottom line of the LNB bends slightly to the bottom as it goes to the LL corner and extends past the vertical line without touching it.

  • The vertical line of the LNB stops short of the LL corner, leaving a slight gap at the corner.

This stamp and the two above it are Type O1, not O2.

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.
