PENCE ISSUE
Re-entries
Twelve Pence
While one of Canada’s rarest stamps, the Twelve Pence black is also an issue rife with re-entries. Indeed, it is likely easier to find a 12d with a re-entry, than one without. Naturally, there are not a lot of these around to illustrate here, but once in awhile we get a nice plate proof of one at the Vincent Graves Greene Philatelic Research Foundation Expert Committee. And sometimes, we even get a copy of the actual issued stamp! I always check these for re-entries and will scan any nice ones that come in. Good scans of 12d re-entries for this page will be appreciated.

Doubling is found throughout the entire design, but is particularly strong on the right side.

A Major Re-entry
Plate Position
This beautiful stamp is not a plate proof, but a full-fledged unused copy of the Twelve Pence Black that I recently had the pleasure of examining. There is doubling over the entire design in the numerals, lettering and framelines. See the close-ups for greater detail.
