Pence Issues 1857-1864

Very few re-entries exist on the Pence Issues of Newfoundland. The first two shown are the only ones listed in the catalogues.

*1.

Scott #1

1d Brown Violet

Major Re-entry

Plate Position #25

Here is the re-entry that has been listed in the Unitrade Specialized Catalogue of Canadian Stamps for many years now. I would say this is a major re-entry rather than just a ‘re-entry’ as the catalogue does. Note the line through all of ‘NEWFOUND’ as well as both numeral boxes and the frame above the central crown.

Scott #15A & #1

1d Violet Brown 1861

Major Re-entry

The Unitrade Specialized Catalogue of Canadian Stamps has long listed a major re-entry on the 1861 issue of the Newfoundland One Penny, but until now (Aug. 2005) I had never seen one.

A line of doubling can be seen through ‘NEWFOUN’ and in the upper left numeral box. A faint horizontal line matching the amount of the upper shift can also be found in the lower left numeral box.

Confirmation of this re-entry by a report of another identical copy would be appreciated.*

*CONFIRMED: Just today (August 29, 2006) I was outbid on a copy of this re-entry on eBay that was described as a die proof. There is a scan of this re-entry below the enlargements to the right. As you can see, the markings in the UL numeral box and NEWFOUND match exactly.

Scott #1

1d Brown Violet

Major Re-entry

Plate Position Unknown

This one was just submitted to me after posting the confirmation copy of the second major, found above. The most interesting areas are found on the right side - Note the marks in the margin next to the upper right corner numeral box, as well as the lower right numeral box. Also, the marks next to the lower right ‘1’ clearly indicate the remnants of another ‘1,’

While examination of any large pieces of this issue show the alignment of the entries was not at all precise, this one was obviously TOO far out of alignment to be satisfactory (or acceptable), and the first attempt was erased and re-entered in its present location, with these bits remaining visible.

A very nice item!

Scans were sent to me by Jean-Claude Vasseur of France.

1d Brown Violet

Re-entry

Plate Position Unknown

Here is the only other re-entry I have seen on the 1d. There are signs of re-entry in ‘St. John’s,’ particularly in the ‘T,’ ‘J,’ ‘N’ and ‘S.’ There is also a smudginess in the numeral box to the right that may or may not be a part of the doubling.
