Pence Re-entries

 


The best source I have found for information on these issues is the Quarterman Publications 1976 reprint of THE POSTAGE STAMPS OF NEW BRUNSWICK AND NOVA SCOTIA, by Nicholas Argenti. This invaluable resource gives detailed descriptions of all plate varieties found on all of the issues of these two provinces.

Scott #1

1d Red Brown

Major Fresh Entry

Plate Position #49

This is a delightful major fresh entry to look at. You can easily see that the original errant entry was rocked in down and to the left of where it belonged. This was erased, albeit poorly, and a new, fresh entry was rocked in in the correct position. Many portions of the original entry are still visible, however, particularly obvious in the four corner 1's. Doubling is also found in virtually all of the lettering, the most noticeable being the strong line in the 'V' of NOVA.

This gorgeous unused copy was auctioned by Eastern Auctions Ltd in their February 26, 2005 sale.
