Hi guys..I know this is not probably a re-entry, but what can explain all the extra ink that the arrows are pointing to..??..Thanks.

But then again if you look at this Scott # 163 Die 2 below, which Ralph Trimble posted and said it could possibly be a new re-entry and look at the stamp above..They have similar indicators.

Wert, just my opinion, but in the bottom picture all the small lines are pointing in the same direction. Yours look more unorganized, like at random.

Possibly a re-touched die on your 1 cent green - not sure though? I am inclined to think they are just splatters of ink (?)

This is the first possible re-entry I have seen other than the well-known Major.

The jagged edge of the right numeral box into the white border is very reminiscent of the lines found in the Major Re-entry, as well as the re-entry on the 2¢ Arch, seen below. While I have encountered tiny such lines on regular stamps before, these are particularly strong and suggest a re-entry, rather than just plate wear. Reports of other strong examples are invited.


This is what Ralph wrote about my one cent stamp...Just that the left side of the 2 cent stamp has similar ink spots.

Note Ralph said "possible" re-entry. It awaits another example or two to confirm that it is a constant variety.
