In the Scott Specialized it says that there is a 10c Washington (#68) that's a double transfer. But for the life of me I can't find a good example. There are a few posts on ebay that say DT but I don't see it. Can anyone provide a good example of a Scott #68 Double Transfer? Thanks.

rogdcam, thanks. I've cleaned my glasses several times, but I'm still not seeing a DT. I see a few spots where the ink may have smeared.
Can you point out the DT, please? Thanks. |

I have an earlier impression of that DT but I can't post it right now. |

This is the TAG variety. This stamp does have other double transfers in the lettering. |

Okay ya'll. Sorry for being thick here, but what is TAG variety for a double transfer? |

The double transfer is along the bottom of the design and has nothing to do with the TAG variety. The TAG variety is NOT a double transfer. |

Thanks Partime and everyone. I now understand the TAG variety supposed double transfer. Not really a double transfer, more of a defect type transfer or a bit of over inking. And in the link posted about another TAG discussion it was mentioned that Scott only estimated a $5 increase in value.

Scott has very low values for most double transfers. There are really only a handful that are otherwise, usually either because they are the very large obvious examples like the name #73 or #569, or on certain popular stamps such as #1 and #2. Many are quite scarce despite this; I have been looking for some for years and spent years looking before I found others. |

Here is the stamp that I mentioned several months ago. I was relying on memory when I said that it was the same position as the one that rogdcam posted. I don't think it is. They are both from the margins of the plate and I would say from the same plate but not the same plate state. Because of the deep, dark color, it's a nice looking stamp and a pretty good double transfer too.  |

Quote: Here is the stamp that I mentioned several months ago ... I am also interested in double transfers. On this 2nd image in this thread, there is a strong color streak to the right. What is that? I have a double transfer (S.35 attached, not as well centered but a nice dated cancel) with an absolute clear doubling of the letters at the bottom and a couple wavy green colored streaks at the top. I don't know what causes those green wavy streaks. Anyone know the answer?  |
