2¢ Carmine 75LR88

A vertical line of ‘shading’ along the outside vertical line of the left numeral box.

Research notes:

For a more detailed ‘discussion’ of this newly discovered CPV, visit this news article.

Leopold Beaudet has identified 19 instances of this left numeral box ‘smudging’ using the plate proofs at LAC. This position has been shown to be found on the printed stamps. An example of 75LL95 is known and does not show the smudging seen on the plate proofs.

Note that the smudging on the plate proofs is usually quite narrow when compared to that seen here, in 75LR88.

Leo's Notes

  • Retouch to LL vertical line from above the FJL to the bottom.
  • There is also a vertical smudge just inside the left side of the LNB.

Band of heavy smudging about 0.6 mm wide along the entire LNB. This is the most extensive example of smudging.

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.
