2¢ Carmine 7LL66

Doubling of the outer vertical and bottom lines on the left numeral box.

Leo's Notes

  • The LNB has a second vertical line that slants progressively inward from top to bottom. As a result, the line appears thick except at the top. With care, one can make out two distinct lines in the bottom corner.

  • The LNB also has two lines at the bottom. They converge from left to right, so they appear as a thick line on the left side that reduces to normal thickness towards the right.

  • Because the two sets of lines diverge at the LL corner, the corner appears to have a small bite taken out of it.

  • There is a slight dent in the bottom frame at the LL corner.

Some might conclude that the doubling is due to a re-entry, but it is most likely due to retouching.

Very faint horizontal scratch in the right member of the N in CANADA and the left inner oval.

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.
