KING EDWARD VII ISSUE
Major Re-entries
Two Cents Carmine
This page is for stamps with re-entries that are of major proportions. I believe a stamp must show significant doubling in the lettering to be considered MAJOR as well as some or much of the surrounding elements. Anything less can be a strong or ‘normal’ re-entry, which I have placed on a separate page. Minute areas of doubling are considered minor, of which there are many, many examples; far too many to include here.

Scott #90
Major Re-entry
This is a lovely counterclockwise twisted major re-entry showing sharp doubling in almost all of the lettering, the upper left side of the outer frameline, both crowns, both 2’s, and some of the veins of the tiny leaves surrounding the numeral boxes. I have four copies here to allow you to see all of the details.

This is something not often seen...It is a position that was re-entered twice, with both re-entries being out of alignment. The bottom line of the numeral box is clearly tripled, as is the 2 itself and the bottom corner of the main frameline.

Major Cracked Plate
Okay, I know this is not a re-entry, but it is so spectacular I just had to include it here. While many issues show hairlines from cracked plates, this one is the nicest I have seen.
This amazing variety is illustrated in Marler on pp.27.
