2¢ Carmine 23UL11

A faint horizontal line through the 'N' of Canada to the 'A' of Postage.

Research notes:

There are currently five very similar CPVs on the 2¢ Carmine. One helpful way to differentiate them is to look closely at the upper right corner, where some retouching may occur.

Leo's Notes

  • Horizontal line in the left outer oval opposite where the top of the diagonal member of the N begins, the left inner oval, the right inner oval, along the inside border of the left member of the A, the white area to the right of the UR spandrel, and extends into the right margin (the only horizontal line flaw that does so). Similar horizontal line flaws occur on plates 12, 14, and 23.
  • Nick in the UR corner of the frame. On plate 14, the frame was retouched to remove the nick on all the subjects with a horizontal line flaw. Not so on plate 23.
  • Dot in the LL corner of the bottom loop of the 2 in the LNB.
  • Faint nearly vertical scratch in the left margin opposite leaf 3 to the middle of the LNB. The scratch may be perfed out or occur in the left pane margin.

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.
