2¢ Carmine 12UR92

(A retouch) "to merge the top and second lines in the upper right and strengthen the vertical line in the upper left - 12UR92"

Leo's Notes

Retouch

  • Top two horizontal lines are merged from the right crown to the UR vertical line.
  • UL vertical line retouched from top to line 5.
  • UL frame junction line retouched at the top.

Other Features

  • Horizontal line on the King’s chest above the medals.
  • Horizontal line in the right inner oval opposite the middle of leaf 3 and mark opposite the bottom of leaf 4.

The retouch is quite obvious.  It is the most easily recognized (of the plate 12 retouches).  The stamp has other interesting features. It is the only stamp on plate 12 that I'm aware of where the UL vertical line was retouched.  There is a horizontal line just above the King's medals.  It is much shorter than the lines on 12UL93 and 12UR18. There are also marks in the right inner oval.
