Robert,
Your third pic above is a re-entry. This stamp is good to look for re-entries. I find the offset on the back of this stamps is fairly common but strong offsets do improve value on this stamp. |

jimjung, I have always wondered if it was a re-entry or not..
Would it be a IV..VI..or VII...?
Thanks.
Have you seen offsets shifted that much..?

This issue is loaded with unlisted reentries. The trick is to find a stamp without a reentry.
For some unknown reason offsets are also very common throughout the printings of the half cent (sloppy work???).

Robert, the set-off on the back of the stamp can occur anywhere. It just depend on where the sheet fell on top of the previous one.

GPortch,
in addition to the 1/2 cent, I also noticed that the offsets are also fairly common on the 17cent (Jacques Cartier Blue. I wonder if this could be simply due to the type of ink used in the printing process or the paper that did nor absorb the ink quickly enough? perhaps the "printing" specialists can offer some explanation for such offsets? |

The stamps were printed using a wet process where the paper was wet as the ink was applied. I suspect the sheets were stacked while the ink and paper were drying. This would cause the offset.
I also find that the 17c had offsets on back of the stamp. |

I have found the same triple corner on a block of 4. The upper right stamp has the same tripling but in both corners. The bottom of the lower right stamp seems to not have a border.   :  |

I was checking my block with Re-entry.com and found my plate position of my block. The upper right appears to be Plate 1 (Right Pane), Position #40, major re-entry. The one below also matches the position 50 shown on re-entry.com. Here is the re-entry.com on the top and mine on the bottom (2400dpi). Note the mark in the border above the "P", mark in the "G", and right border at bottom.   |

Wert, if I am correct and mine is 39,40 and 49,50 , then I suspect your stamp is Plate 1 (Right Pane), Position #50. I copied your image and put it alongside of mine. Note the mark outside the right border on both stamps in the exact position.  |

jaxom100..That is interesting, but they will ( the powers to be) call it dots and scratches..Some thing that would not be considered a variety.

The variety is in the doubling. I used the dot to verify that the stamp on bottom is plate position 50 which is a major reentry. |
