2¢ Carmine Relief Break

A relief break in the bottom frame almost below the left side of the right numeral box.

Marler states: "a break showed for the first time in the subject 89UL94 and recurred in the remaining subjects that row (Row 4) (actually, Marler meant Column, not Row) and of Rows (Columns) 5, 6 and 7. When the engraving of Row 8 (Column 8) reached 89UL68 a small nick appeared below the N of Cents...."

Research notes:

Based on Marler's notes on Page 286 (see above), this stamp could be from any of positions 89UL94, 89UL95, 89UL96 or 89UL97.

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.
