Canada Small Queen Identification Table: Position Dots

Is this an example of the dot hidden within the frame..??

Wert, I think your last example is a 9 o'clock dot. Nice find!

However, my stamp from the other post definitely does not have a dot.

BeeSee..I have a few out of the 100 or more of these stamps that have clear dot and dots within the border.

Here are two 3 o'clock dots I found. I still have about 70 more stamps to examine - but my eyes are getting sore

Very nice BeeSee, I have a million to go through to..
Here are 3 so far that I have found.

Nice Wert! I did not realize they could be so far from the medallion. I will have to double check mine.

Ya...I just realized they are everywhere..Going to go through mine to.

Wert, thanks for posting all those illustrations. I was planning to scan a few but there is no sense now -- great job and a wonderful service to Forum members.

Thanks Wert... great job, very educative. We are also lucky to have gportch we shall know more on the Small Queen

Ya....gportch is a great guy to have on this site..scary thing I saw his picture and thought it was my picture...haha

Does this qualify as a 9 o'clock guide dot, or is it too far in the medallion?

BeeSee...That is a very interesting theory..We know they exist far outside the medallion...

So maybe it does on some stamp exist..

Wonder if gportch would have something further to say about it...Nice stamp and probably nice find BeeSee...

I just noticed the comparisson stamp I used in the worn plate thread appears to have an "internal" 9 o'clock dot - right below the head of the "2" below Halifax.

Hi BeeSee

Nice find! They are there but one needs to look carefully.

As a sidebar to this discussion, I suggest that those who love looking for "dots and scratches" get a copy of CONSTANT PLATE VARIETIES OF THE CANADA SMALL QUEENS by Hans Reiche and Mike Sendbuehler. This well illustrated book could create an addiction for these minute details (I did a 16 page exhibit of 3 cent varieties).

For Toronto based collectors, the book is available in the Greene Foundation research library.
