2¢ Carmine 3-L-7-4

The aspect that Marler likely noted is the guide dot in the upper left corner.

Research notes:

Based on Marler's notes, Marler is suggesting that the defective transfer could be characteristic of both 3-L-1-1 and 4-L-1-1.

However, when we look at the straight edge at the bottom, clearly the stamp position must be from either position 4 or 5 of the booklet pane.

Leopold Beaudet has identified the plate position using the plate proofs at LAC.

Leo's Notes

Based on the guide dot in the upper left corner, the stamp is 3-L-7-4.  
The guide dot is a "pane delineation" guide dot.  There are five such 
dots on the plate:

1. Left group, upright pane 7, in the margin between the stamps in rows 1 and 2 of column 1
2. Right group, inverted pane 8, in the margin between the stamps in 
rows 1 and 2 of column 1
3. In the tab between booklets 3-L-2 and 3-R-1
4. In the tab between booklets 3-L-14 and 3-R-13
5. In the centre of the plate - thus, in the tab of booklet 3-L-8 or 3-R-7.

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.
