"the left crown was inadequately transferred to the plate." Although this is obvious on the proof, the subject was not retouched and the author [Marler] has four copies [of the 2¢ carmine] showing the defective crown.
Comments
Plate 12 was also used to print 2¢ Green coils. This CPV on a 2¢ Green has been reported by Randall Van Someren (RVS).
Leo's Notes
- The jewels on the left side of the left crown and the cross are almost missing. The UL corner is not affected.
- Horizontal scratch in the top margin above the left frame and the cross in the left crown (not on stamp)
- The stamp has the short horizontal line in the right margin that is characteristic of design type SRR10; however, the subject on the proof does not.
- Faint vertical guideline in the left margin opposite the LNB and the bottom margin.
- Guide dot in the left margin at the midpoint. Slightly closer to this stamp than the one to its left, 12LL10/10.
- Guide dot in the left margin opposite leaf 4. Mid way between this stamp and the one to its left, 12LL10/10.
