The 15¢ Large Queen Major Re-entry
Another State or Different Plate Position?
Below you will find a series of scans taken with my ProScope computer microscope at 50X of a 15¢ Large Queen re-entry discovered by Glenn Archer of Toronto. While it does indeed appear to have all of the details of the Major Re-entry in all the right places, the span, or width, of the separation between the main stamp design and the re-entry appears to be only about half of that of the ‘strong’ versions of the Major Re-entry we have seen. (See Bill Burden’s and Glenn Archer’s ‘strong’ copies on my main page of the 15¢ LQ Major.))
The question is, is this a later, worn state of the Major Re-entry, OR is it another re-entry completely, from a different plate position on the sheet?
Your opinions are most welcome.
So that’s it. I would really appreciate hearing from anyone who would like to comment on this issue. Please email me directly at:
