The same re-entry, but from the Post Office Panes, was described by Marler on page 112, but it appears that he was unaware of this CPVs existence in coil format. The Major Re-entry ~ 12LR35 ~ "is by far the most spectacular of all the re-entries in the Admiral issue…all of that part of the design below the two crowns is doubled, the doubling being particularly noticeable at the bottom where the right numeral, the vertical and bottom lines of the box, and the lower right corner are very obviously doubled. The doubling of the bottom of the portrait, the letters of ONE CENT, and the lines in all of the leaves (are) also obvious though not quite as marked."
Comments
- This unique example was discovered by Dr. W. Bosch in February, 1981 - just before the August, 1982 publication of Marler's last book.
- This re-entry confirms that Plate 12 of the Post Office Panes was also used to produce coil stamps.
