I have attached scans of a pair of 330 5cent Jamestown Exhibition Stamps. The left hand stamp appears to be a double transfer to me. See closeup of left side shield. Is this the double transfer that the Scott catalog refers to? Right stamp does not show this.
My Scott catalog is older. What does the new catalog show as a value for this transfer if my stamp is a double transfer.

It certainly looks like the re-entry to me.

You can see one here:

The major double transfer of this stamp is the left side of the right shield, with another in the ribbons; plus several small shifts in the ribbons and numerals.

This one just looks like a bit of overinking.

Since I also see doubling in the ribbons of Founding and OF ( See attached scan) It also seems to match the reentry pictures of this stamp at the re-entries website referenced by rogdcam. So would that not eliminate just a bit of over inking as a cause?

I would need to see a comparison with the same position on the other stamp.

Revcollector, the two scans of the same area for the right hand stamp. Please let me know your thoughts.

Yes, it's one of the smaller double transfers of the label and shield. Nice item to find.
