Midnight submissions huh...that`s just 9 pm around here.
When I say listed or reported I mean I have seen the
variety in the Centennial Study Group newsletters.
Those newsletters are a great source of information.
It`s always fun when I find something that`s not listed
in the newsletters. I`ll post one of those tomorrow night. |

This one has a dot in the margin under the C. Perf 12x12.5 Die II. It is a reported variety.   |

Thanks for the explanation.
I took the "midnight" reference from the forum's date and time above your entries. |

Thanks for your interest Blackjag! This trio have not been reported in the newsletters but I`m sure I`m not the first to find them. It`s the Die II perf 12x12.5 with a dot above the queen`s head.  Notice that this plate location also has the doubling of the 6.  |

The last post showed some doubling of the 6 on the Die II stamps. Here`s 9 better examples.  |

From what I`ve read the doubling of the 6 is only found on the Die II stamps. Here`s four examples of what appears to be doubling on the Die I issue.  |

Another version of `stroke after 6` this one being the black Die I perf 12x12.5. I posted the orange version on page 7. A mark just to the right of the top of the 6.   |

The vertical lines were added to the 6c design to darken
it. I think it`s very ugly. |

This is the last of the 6c blacks for a while. This one has a dot above the plane just right of the top of the tower. It`s a small dot but it`s a constant variety. Also found on the 12x12.5 orange. 12x12.5 Die I.   |

Ink smeared across the CANADA on the Perf 10 Orange is called ink drag. Easy to find and there is usually a large amount of `drag`. Here`s seven extreme examples:  |

This is the `dot on chin` variety. Farther back and smaller than the more common variety.   The Centennial Study Group newsletter says it`s rarity is `perhaps 1 in 50k. The extra spire is 1 in 15k. That means the chin dot is three times as scarce! Anybody got an extra spire they want to trade for one of these.  |
