2¢ Carmine 7LL46

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

Comments

Reiche No. 34 short line in left numeral box, original die (The line is not particularly short, but would seem to agree with his diagram.)

Plate position confirmed by LB using the plate proofs at LAC.

Leo's Notes

  • The thickness of the vertical line of the LNB varies. It is thin at the top corner, very thick opposite the top part of the 2, less thick opposite the middle of the 2, very thick again below the bottom of the 2, but stops short of the LL corner.

  • Gap at the LL corner of the LNB because the vertical and bottom lines stop short. The vertical line has a spur on the left side that goes down to the corner but does not touch the bottom line.
