Scott #69

Three Cents Carmine

A Major Re-entry

Heavy doubling is found throughout 'CANADA.

This is the nicest re-entry I have seen so far on this stamp.

Scott #69 / 87

Three Cents Carmine

A Major Re-entry

Here is a lovely mint block of 4 with a major re-entry on the upper right stamp.

A comparison between this and the stamp above shows that they are the identical re-entry, so obviously the same plate that was used to print the 'normal' 3¢ Maple Leaves was also used later on for the 2 CENTS overprint of 1899.
