2¢ Carmine 108LL52

Doubling in the 'AN' of Canada and below the 'AG' of Postage.

Leo's Notes

  • The stamp is from the retouched die, 1st state, with fluorescent ink.  It must therefore come from plates 95-148.
  • The date in the postmark eliminates plates 113 to 148, leaving just plates 95 to 112.  The date suggests that the plate is closer to 112 than to 95.
  • Marler's description of design type R24 (plates 107-108) appears to fit.  Marler points out that many of the subjects on the two lower panes of plate 108 have a spur projecting outwards from the upper left corner.  The stamp in question has such a spur, so it likely comes from the LL or LR pane of plate 108.

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.
