In the Unitrade catalogue #43c is listed as:

5¢ on 6¢ major re-entry.

What does that mean? In the illustration an arrow points to the "A" and "G" of "POSTAGE". Where's the 5¢?

I suggest you go to the Ralph Trimble web site (re-entry.com) and read the description and thorough explanations for the 5 on 6 and the lesser 5 on 6

There's an image of the reentry in the catalogue. Over the A and G of POSTAGE on the 6¢ stamp you can make out a trace of the upper right corner border of the 5¢ stamp. Don't ask me how that happened, but there it is.
