2¢ Carmine 5LR87

A distinctive retouch of the vertical line of the left numeral box.

Leo's Notes

  • Left frame is thin to the left of the LNB.

  • Bottom frame is thin between the LL corner and the left edge of the LNB.

  • Vertical line of the LNB is thin.

  • Left half of the bottom line of the LNB is thin.

Stamps LR27, LR37, LR47, LR67, LR67, and LR87 have a large mark in the top margin above the O in POSTAGE. The mark is about half way between adjacent vertical stamps so it may be perfed out or appear in the bottom margin below the S in CENTS of the stamp above.

Small guide dot almost touching the right border of the left inner oval.
