Canada Cartier No 19 Plating Project

Up-date on my plating project as of end of Sept, I have now assembled 67 of the 100 positions.
Hi-res copies are available for viewing at on stampstarter site at (http://www.stampsmarter.com/feature...iewdata.html

If any of you have some of the missing position, let me know and post a scan here.

Here is my only Canada 19. Hopefully you can see any markings that might ID it. I am truly puzzled how and where the information comes from on plate position markings. Why so cryptic?

Here are some reference books:

SENATOR JAMES A. CALDER'S COMPLETE PLATING OF THE CANADA 17c. JACQUES CARTIER FROM THE 1859 CENTS ISSUE, edited by Charles J. G. Verge, 1992 (100 printed).

THE FIRST DECIMAL ISSUE OF CANADA 1859-68, Geoffrey Whitworth,The Royal Philatelic Society, London, 1966 (1500 printed).

PLATING THE SEVENTEEN CENTS BLUE #19, Kenneth A. Kershaw, British North America Philatelic Society, 2009, 2013.

The last one may still be available from BNAPS.

Nice stamp Ajuchum.
This is plate position 63. Fro the Kershaw book, one can identify this as from the 3rd column (dot on the left of Cartier's head), and the very weak transfer below the main oval at the bottom of the stamp.
You will also notice that the frame line joining the outer oval at the left is a bit weak, which is also indicative of position 63.
Hope this helps.

Hey Gilles, here is 4 more you can possibly plate.

I think I have two #19




19a


19i

Me to..

Wert,
nice margin on your stamp. It is position 65, confirmed by the dot on the cheek (5th column) and the weak transfer on the lower left corner around 17, as well as weak horizontal transfer below the top right frameline. Position dot in small left oval

Thanks buddy...

I think this may be Position 6. Nice database that will prove useful to me when I am looking for some plating references. Thanks, Gilles!

Jimjung, you are corrrect. This is indeed position 6. Let me know if you plan to sell or trade it. It is one that I am missing.

Here is a proof of what I believe is position 83. It has a very minor re-entry above 'TEEN' and 'EN'. The best features to look for are the guide dot positions and the nice short entry across the bottom.

Gilles le timbre - why is position 14 stamp so much larger than the others?

BlackJag,
simply an adjustment, as I inserted the picture in the spreadsheet. (each individual picture has been inserted mmanually so it is easy to vary size slightly).

Great job. That looks like a fun stamp to work with - a lot of neat varieties.

This is probably a question for WERT (Robert)
I can see oart of the cancel but they are difficult to identify on dark Blue stamps. I think this dated NO _9 60 CW and the town cancel shows a T and a O, but perhaps one of your magic tool can help further identify this one..
They are positions 44,54 and 55

The only legitimate digital process is to split the color channels like Retroreveal does in link above. Splitting channels divides the existing image data into channels that sometimes allows you to see details that were obscure with all colors shown.

Any digital manipulation that adds or changes the image data leads to nonfactual assumptions, basically digital speculation.
