Scott #63

Three Dollars Bistre

Major Re-entry

Plate Position 19 on sheet of 50

A very sharp re-entry is found on the $3 Jubilee, surprisingly unreported all these years. Very clear markings are seen in POSTA, as well as a mark in the left slant of the large central 'V.'

I discovered both the $5 & $3 Jubilee re-entries in a U.S. dealer's stock at a show here in Toronto. I couldn't afford to purchase them, but I DID point out the re-entries to the dealer so he would know what he had. He has since submitted them to The Greene Foundation for certificates.

It's surprising to see that such re-entries, particularly the clear one on the $3, have gone unreported for so long.

Recently (towards the middle of 2007) Mike Smith reported finding a copy of this re-entry, confirming it as constant.

Near the end of 2007, Bruce Craw of Bow City Philatelics sent me scans of this beautiful re-entry on a plate proof! Scroll down past the first set of photos to see the clarity of the proof.
