I'm looking at the markings in US POSTAGE and in the upper right rosette center.

It looks like a reentry position from plate 1.
Here it is (I think) at 7L1.




EDIT: Apparently all of plate 1 was recut.

"the fact exists that every position on Plate 1 was recut.
While it is not probable, still it is possible that the recutting was done after the plate was in use for a short period, but as no stamps are known which do not show recutting, we assume the recutting was done before the plate was turned over to the printers."

It is better to call it a double transfer rather than a reentry.

I used the term 're-entry' as it was used in Neinken's drawing of 7L as was shown above by Jaxom100. I too wondered if 7L was correct or no. Do you know if this is a commonly found 'double transfer'?

I thought about the term "re-entry" as well, but that is the term Neinken used. Canada earlies use the term a lot. The marks are likely from a tool used to recut the design before use not from a double strike. We would use the term "recut", like plate 1 late 1c. IMO

I notice that a lot of positions have recut inner and outer lines, not 3rd-party marks.

No, it's a double transfer... nothing to do with recutting at all.

A re-entry is a term best reserved for those instances that result in things like intermediate and late States of plates. Just my opinion.

I would not call 7L1 rare but when you start searching for individual positions from a single plate that didn't get the use of a 3c plate of the same era, it can be a bit difficult.
