Help With A Possible New Newfondland Variety.

Guys, I really need your help on this one..Need a good eye.

Left stamp is a known "dog scratch" Scott 56 stamp that I have found
as a "constant variety" in 2015 (along with the Scott 58 also)... As shown in Unitrade, it is ROSE RED (Scott 56) in colour. The stamp on the right may be a Scott 57 which is classified as Scott 57 which is in Unitrade as designated as ORANGE RED.

Please give me some feed back...If I am right, this may be the THIRD and final "dog scratch" variety.

Robert

Robert, why such a small picture - where is the scratch ?
Also, why do you call this the "final" variety,
and thirdly, is the left stamp oxydized ?

Peter

Hey Wert, the stamp on the right doesn't look "Orange enough" to be number 57 for my eyes.

But technically, if you have found the variety on the Orange/Red (SC56) printed in 1888 and on the Black in 1894/98(SC58) the variety must appear on the Orange 1896 stamp.(SC57)

I would assume they would use the same plate for all issues.

Trodent

Trodent you would think so, unless..unless they noticed the Scott 56 near the end run had a flaw, the proverbial dog scratch..On the run of the Scott 57 they created a new format, and maybe it was say damaged and they said for the third run (Scott 58) hey just said use the Scott 56 process..BIG MAYBE, but one never knows.

But I have been asked by an editor if I had a Scott 57 with the dog scratch. I looked through all mine and only came up with the stamp on the right..Hey, that is why I posted this, that maybe some one out there could produce a Scott 57 with the variety....

But hey, I am happy finding the Scott 56 and 58.

Peter..here are the 3..First Scoot 56..Second Scott 58..MAYBE third is a Scott 57

Robert, has it been determined what position in the pane does it come from.

Hi No1philatelist

Position 95

Robert

Have to mark that down. Thanks Robert.

Maybe it's just the poor picture, but the 57 scratch does not look like the same angle and length as the others. Can you see if you can improve the scan?

I think Peter is probably correct...Both stamps are Scott 56 "dog scratch" varieties.

Partime..My scanner is getting worse..sorry
Double checked the angle of both stamps and they are equal.

I am going to end this saying, I am still looking for a Scott 57..Any further help or pictures would be much appreciated.
