Scott #2TCi

Six Pence

A Minor Re-entry

Plate Position ?

This is the only re-entry I have yet to see on this stamp, and this one is obviously a plate proof, so it remains to be seen that this appeared on the printed issues.

This shows a minor re-entry of the lower left corner inner vertical frameline. While certainly not significant, it is indeed a re-entry.

Scott #9

Seven and a Half Pence

The Major Re-entry

Plate Position #7

This is a very scarce re-entry on an already valuable stamp. Note the doubling in all of the lettering, the corner numerals, and the portrait itself.

While there is only one re-entry recorded on the 7 1/2d, there are actually more to be found on this plate. However, they do not occur on the stamps, but on the Imprints! The bottom right imprint was originally badly misplaced by the siderographer, then a weak attempt was made to erase it and a new one entered in the proper place. The result was the lovely doubled imprint you see below. The left half of the imprint is found under plate position #117, and the right half under #118. Below you will find scans of both halves. Further down the page you will find the re-entered imprint that occurred in the lower left margin opposite position #85. While not as extreme as the previous one, it is still an example of a nicely doubled imprint.
