For the following section on the 20¢ vermilion, I want to express my gratitude to Gary J. Lyon of New Brunswick for scanning his full proof sheet of 50 for me. This allowed me to confirm the plate positions of two already known re-entries, putting to rest some disagreement on the matter, as well as plating two others. Below you will find scans of these positions taken directly from the proof sheet.

Scott #59iii
Twenty Cents Vermilion
Re-entry 1
Plate Position #2
(Below 'O' of Imprint)
The heavy mark in the 'P' is the distinguishing feature here, but note also the extended lines in the portrait oval below the 'PO.'
This is the only 20¢ re-entry that is listed in Unitrade as of the 2007 Edition. (I’ll try to get pp8 & pp37 included in the next one.)

Scott #59
Twenty Cents Vermilio
Re-entry 2
Plate Position #8
Another re-entry similar to the above one, but here the doubling is only in the ‘P’ instead of POS. Also, the re-entered lines in the right side of the crown are doubled themselves.
The second example is one that came into the Greene for certification, while the third copy was submitted shortly thereafter by Earl Noss. It’s nice to have confirmation of a second and third copy so quickly!

Scott #59
Twenty Cents Vermilion
Re-entry 3
Plate Position #37
A more obvious re-entry than the above, note the marks in 'POS' and above the crown. There is also a mark on the portrait oval in front of the Queen's face.
This newly discovered re-entry was submitted by Earl Noss.
The plate position of this re-entry was determined using Gary Lyon’s proof sheet.

Scott #59
Twenty Cents Vermilion
Re-entry 4
Plate Position #28
A less obvious re-entry than the above, note the marks in 'POS' and below in the portrait oval, as well as the fine lines of doubling above 'TW' at the bottom.
The plate position of this re-entry was determined using Gary Lyon’s proof sheet.
I find it interesting that the marks on the proof sheet are much weaker than those on the printed stamp, seen below the proof.
