2¢ Carmine 87UR48

No notes from Marler, but the marks in the right margin should serve to provide an identification. Wide break in bottom of right numeral box.

Research notes:

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

Leo's Notes

  • A long, nearly vertical scratch in the right margin.  The scratch consists of a string of faint dashes opposite AGE in POSTAGE.  After a gap, the scratch continues opposite leaf 4.

  • Two dots, one above the other, in the right margin opposite the top and bottom of the bottom frame.  The small dot that is characteristic of design type J is just to the left of the bottom dot.

  • Thin horizontal line in the bottom margin below the right side of the T and left edge of the S in CENTS.

  • Small dot to the left of the midpoint of the LNB.

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.
