TWO CENTS Carmine Page 3
Return to Index Return to Listings Page
Once again, there were 160 plates of 400 subjects each used to print the sheet stamps of the 2¢ carmine, and as a result there are 64,000 individual plate positions and a great many re-entries to be found. Indeed, there are a great many major re-entries. I consider a re-entry to be major on this issue if some of the letters of CANADA POSTAGE show doubling. Other exist in the lower portions, of course, but the ones showing doubling in the lettering are especially appealing. The stamps are not presented in any strict order here, so there are also some majors to found on the third page, along with the more usual doubled numeral box lines. I have not provided detailed descriptions in most cases, as they are usually quite obvious. If you have any questions about any, please feel free to email me and ask. I also welcome 1200dpi scans of strong re-entries you may have that are not shown here.

Strong Re-entry 64

This one shows a heavy upward shift, visible in the upper frameline and making the entire stamp appear to be heavily inked, but it is due to the shift and not the inking.

Strong Re-entry 67

This is another ‘typical’ type of re-entry showing doubling of the bottom line of the LNB and the right outer line of the RNB. This is due to a slight counterclockwise twist of the transfer roll.

Sharp Re-entry 70

This is an interesting combination of a doubled RNB bottom line, coupled with a plate scratch. This is constant, as seen by the second identical copy.

Major Re-entry 80
Plate Position
This one shows not only nice doubling of the upper line in the LR numeral box, but also the LR side of the portrait oval and the large leaf to the right of it. There also appears to be doubling of the top of the letters of TWO. there are also extensions of the spandrel lines above the NB, and most interesting are the lines in the outer white oval to the lower right of the upper leaf. This is certainly a major re-entry.
