Shown is the indicia from an 1874 issue Wrapper (Scott W120) used at Orangeville, Pa in 1884 (with a nice purple cds).
Note the 'extra rim to left' and I think I see letter doubling, especially is the P-O- part of 'Postage. There is also some blue ink on the bridge Of Ben's nose.
Would this be considered to be a double transfer? Kiss print? Or other?
"It's similar to a kiss/slip print, in the context of an embossed print. It is not a constant variety. It's a splendid production freak, probably unique."
In a follow-up email from Ken, he said the same thing regarding a cert. Fair enough. John, what kind of premium, if any, would you estimate on this over cat value?
