Newfoundland Stamps Mint From 1910 To 1911 (#87 To 114)

Continuing on with my sharing, here are the next 3 pages...

All the stamps from 1910 - 1911....

except for the very difficult to find 88c (a rare perf)...but I just managed to score a VF NH version of it and will post it when it arrives in the mail from a Canadian auction house...not cheap, but the last missing stamp for me.

Worth also noting my favorite here would probably be the 110 and 110 a color varieties. Clean and pretty colors, in my opinion.

Also the 92 and 92A (with the backward Z)....
More later...

As always, I love seeing your Newfoundland stamps.

That is a great collection alright.

When my regular Canadian album got too big, I made up an album strictly for the provinces. Sure glad I did.

Does not matter what Newfoundlands you post, they are gorgeous and amazing!

1910 Scott 94 9c olive green "Logging Camp"

Tommy- or other Newfie enthusiasts, note the apparent "S" for the "N" in the "INDIAN" script?

(This was pointed out to me in another forum, and there are apparently no reports in Unitrade about this.)

What do you make of this?

Hmh, I am not aware of this one. Could be worth diving deeper in the books

I'll check it out later tonight and look at my collection (unforunately I'm at my day job now and getting in the way of this...)

Thanks

Scott 100 is a cool and valuable stamp ! I looked on the net and many look like this

Except it is not the engraved 100, but the lithographic 94, if that makes any difference.

My 9c olive green is Perf 12 and does not impress with the aluminum foil
rub- i.e. negative for engraved.

Are these "S" shaped "N"'s also found for the lithographic "94?

This one sent me scrambling to my Newfoundland album. Both my 94 and 100 look normal but this would be a really interesting variety. Let's hear more about this from Tommy and others.

To give a partial answer to my own query, in searching for examples on-line, the "N"'s can appear to resemble an "S" on some stamps, although my example appears to be the most extreme case.

Well, this presents as an interesting item. Here is what I discovered: Bottom line is that I believe you have found an uncommon and exciting oddity, but I'd hesitate to use the descriptive uncataloged (just because I am not sure and hardly a BNAPs expert). I hope this information is of help, humbly given with great respect.

First off, it is # 94 (Lithographed) or #89 for those with an NSSC catalog. The John Guy Issues are notorious for errors and is the principal reason for the engraved re-issue in 1911; people complained in 1910 because of the errors. there is the #87 of course with JAMRS, NFW etc. Others also referred to in Unitrade, like "Mcsquito" for #93 to name another.

But no mention of errors with the 94.

There is a mention though in Bogg's history of Newfoundland Stamps on page 82 about the many flaws and transfer varieties, so I would conclude its cool but not uncatalogued.

I also pulled from the safe, my best copies and found three mint versions that appear to have the same flaw--one to a degree more than the others. the N morphs to be an S.

Check them out. I've tried to scale up the best example but not perhaps failed to enable zoom in on the web site here. Under my magnifying glass, I think that perhaps this small error appears in many of the stamps. I just never noticed. Perhaps others also just never looked that closely.

So, its a great topic, and as you touched upon it probably exists fairly robustly, but you have an extreme example. which would make sense for lithographed stamps.

Thanks Tommy!

That is about what I expected.

An interesting flaw, but not uncommon.

The most surprising part, to me, is that it may not have been specifically reported- at least to the awareness of catalogue editors.
