Five Cents

Major Re-entry 1

Plate 10, Position #10

This first re-entry was first brought to my attention by Michael D. Smith, who submitted these scans showing the details of this newly discovered re-entry.

NEW INFO: Pierre Hudon discovered an upper right corner block of four of the 5¢ showing the re-entry in the UR stamp of the block and notified me of its position. Michael Smith recently purchased this block of 4 from Pierre with full corner selvedge, placing the re-entry at position #10 on the sheet of 100! As there was only one plate used for this value, we now know it is from Plate #10, Position #10.

Thank you, Pierre! (Scroll down to see Pierre's discovery block, scanned by Michael D. Smith.)

ADDITIONAL INFO: Pierre has informed me that he also has another corner block of six that DOES NOT show the re-entry in position #10! This is most interesting, as the 5¢ Jubilee was only printed from one single plate (Plate 10) and with the limited run, it has been assumed that the plates were never re-worked or repaired following their original state. However, blocks WITH and WITHOUT the re-entry prove that this is not true, and that for some reason this plate was indeed re-entered during its lifetime!

Thank you for that info, Pierre!

Re-entry 2

This re-entry is more subtle than the above. There are marks in CANADA POSTAGE, as well as the left side of the right portrait oval.

Six Cents Brown

Re-entry

There are signs of a re-entry in ‘PO,’ the crown, and above the top frameline near the centre.

This is the nicest re-entry I have seen on this value.

Just added a lovely plate proof of this re-entry. Only 600 proofs were printed, at 50 stamps per sheet, so there are only 12 copies of this re-entry on  a proof in existence.

Six Cents Brown

Re-entry

There are many interesting signs of a re-entry in all of the letters of POSTAGE and the white portrait oval below it. There is also a strong mark in the lower right arm of the large central V.

Saskatoon Stamp Centre has kindly provided scans of two copies of this re-entry that they have handled (the two close-ups seen to the right below are the two different copies), with the upper one still being available.

One other re-entry on the 6¢ has been reported, but I do not yet have scans of it to show you here.
