I purchased this ebay lot a week or two ago mainly because I spotted a possible double transfer in one of the R15's in the bottom row.



This is the stamp I spotted. It is definitely a double transfer, but I was also surprised to see a nice plate scratch as well. Or is this a cracked plate?



But the surprises didn't stop there. There was a plate scratch and a double transfer on the R6 as well. Unfortunately the stamp is slightly damaged.







And the surprises continued. Another of the R15's was also a double transfer:





All in all, I think this was a pretty good haul for a buck.
