PENCE ISSUE Scott #1-13 RE-ENTRIES Ten Pence Re-entries on Plate Proof - Photocopies
|
Canada’s first stamps offer some beautiful re-entries for the specialist. Here I show you all of the Major Re-entries on the Three Pence, the ten or so Majors on the One Half Penny, the gorgeous Ten Pence (and scans of all of the re-entries taken from colour photocopies of a full proof sheet), and even the very scarce Major Re-entry on the 7 1/2 Pence. As I gain access to them, I’ll even throw in a 12d or a dozen.

DECIMAL ISSUE (First Cents) Scott #14-20 RE-ENTRIES Five Cents
|
The First Cents Issue along with the PENCE Issues are the true 'Classics' of Canadian philately. Hopefully, the items illustrated here will aid you in the identification of the major varieties of each value. (This page is dedicated to Geoffrey Whitworth.)
July 2018 - I decided to break up my single page of mixed plate positions for the 5¢ Beaver into four separate pages of 25 each. Each plate position now has its own space, and my many plate positions can now be found listed in their proper order, making it so much easier to find a particular position than before. Of course there are many positions left empty for now, but as time passes I hope to fill in more and more as I receive submissions from viewers. Please submit your scans at 1200dpi minimum on a black background, along with its plate position. I will check these against my Ken Kershaw books on the Five Cents Beaver and add them to my pages. Of course, many of the plate positions are quite normal and have no re-entries or flaws to speak of, so those spaces will remain empty. I hope these new pages will assist you in plating your stamps, and that you will contribute some of your stamps if you can help me fill any of the empty spaces, or if you have clearer copies of any of those I show here.

Scott #21-33 RE-ENTRIES |
There aren’t a great many re-entries on the Large Queens, but here are a few. There are 6 photos of Horace Harrison's best copy of the Major, plus two of a recent find by Jim Hennok. Added: A copy auctioned recently by John Talman. Added: Another copy reported by Bill Burden. Another copy found and reported by Glenn Archer.

SMALL QUEENS Scott #34-47 RE-ENTRIES Six Cents Plate A All 100 Positions |
The Small Queen Issue is without doubt the most studied and varied of all Canadian stamps. With its incredible multitude of papers, perfs, colours, shades, printings and constant plate varieties, this issue has something for everyone. But, of course, it is the fantastic selection of re-entries that interests me the most. I leave all of the other areas to those so-inclined specialists. For searching for re-entries on the light-coloured 1¢ and 3¢ values, you might like to try my method of using back-lighting. (This section is dedicated to Hans Reiche, Mike Sendbuehler and Bill Simpson.) On January 18th, 2003, Bill Simpson passed away in London, Ontario. Along with his Gold medal-winning collection of Small Queens, Bill was a great promoter of the hobby. In the summers of 1991 & 1992, Bill and his lovely wife, June, opened their home and their arms to a small group of dedicated philatelists for what came to be known affectionately as "Stamp Camp." With 'campers' from the Toronto area, Hamilton, and even as far off as Nova Scotia, Stamp Camp was several days of philatelic bliss. Bill made his vast collection of Small Queen materials available to us for study, photographing, and general panting and ogling. And of course, not only was the material the most extensive available for human eyes, but it was matched by Bill's incredible knowledge of his subject. Those summers will remain a part of my fondest memories forever. Goodbye, Bill, my friend. You shall be greatly missed. A major discovery has just been made...After years of controversy, it can finally be told that the plate used for the 6¢ yellow brown printing was possibly refurbished to become the ‘A’ plate! See the 6¢ yellow brown page for details, January 16, 2015 - I recently acquired a 1200dpi scan of a full sheet of 100 of the Six Cents Red Brown Small Queen, Scott #43, Courtesy of The Brigham Collection. Since there are many collectors who delight in plating these stamps based on their position dots, I decided that rather than just showing the re-entries I found on the plate, I would show all 100 plate positions to allow platers to really enjoy themselves. The images you see below are actually thumbnails that have been re-sized to my usual 12” wide images, so if you click on each image, you will be taken to a full size image which may fill your screen. This will allow you to do really close-up examinations of each and every position on the plate. I have included portions of the stamps to the left and to the right of each plate position to show the relative alignments of each design, as well as the position dots to the right of each stamp. I have made note for the positions that show evidence of re-entry and also associated Reiche & Sendbuehler numbers. (Coming soon.)

Scott #43 |
"The Most Remarkable Variety of Canadian Stamps" is how Winthrop S. Boggs described this stamp in his epic volume, 'The Postage Stamps and Postal History of Canada.' I heartily agree, but little did Mr. Boggs know that the story of this classic was far from over. This article was originally published in BNA TOPICS in 1993. Also, see the worst possible copy...

There are a great many constant plate varieties on this issue. For those interested, I direct you to Horace Harrison’s book, “Canada’s Registry System” by Hennok, 1987. Meanwhile, here are some of the great re-entries found on this issue. This section has recently (Dec. 30, 2004) been separated into two pages, one for each value. A marvelous new unrecorded Major Re-entry has been found on the 2¢ RLS by Harry Voss.

Here are some of the re-entries discovered so far on the Jubilee Issue of 1897. This page has now been revamped into 16 separate pages - one for each value. The Jubilees were printed in either sheets of 100 (10 X 10) or 50 (5 X 10) with plate numbers from 1 - 29. See the listings for each value.

Some of the most incredible examples of the problems some siderographers ran into while laying down or repairing the steel printing plates are what we call MISPLACED ENTRIES. These occurred when the transfer roll was not set down on the plate in the proper position and portions of design were entered at least 0.5mm away from the proper position and sometimes as much as a whole half-design away. (More than a half-design away and it is not really possible to tell whether the stamp below or the stamp above was the intended position to be repaired. Here are some amazing examples.

This issue is a real favourite of mine. Not only is it a very beautiful stamp, but it just teems with re-entries, retouches and red plate varieties. (This page is dedicated to the late Whitney Bradley.) ** I was saddened to read in the Sept./Oct. 2002 issue of The Canadian Philatelist (the Journal of the RPSC) that Ron Winmill* of London, Ontario has passed away. Many years ago, before Whit Bradley’s book on the Map Stamp was published and I was studying Maps closely myself, Ron would send me packet after packet after packet of Map singles, blocks and pieces from his collection to study and record for my notes. He never requested any money for postage; all he required was that I enclose the cancelled stamps from his packages when I returned his Maps. He also sent me the mint postage to use when I returned his stamps. What a great deal! Tons of Maps to study, delivered to my door, for free. Not only did Ron help me with my early Map studies, but he also demonstrated the incredible generosity of so many collectors in this fine hobby. Thanks, Ron. And farewell. You shall be missed. * Ron was the author of “The Evolution of Imperial Penny Postage and The Postal History of the Canadian 1898 Map Stamp” published by Jim Hennok in 1982.

I consider the 5¢ Edward to be one of Canada's most beautiful engraved stamps. George C. Marler presented this and all the other values in his detailed study, "The Edward VII Issue of Canada" in 1975 and it remains THE master work on the subject. Here are just a few of the many wonderful re-entries to be found on this issue. (This page is dedicated to George C. Marler.) New: The Major Misplaced Entry on the 2¢ Edward, 86UL93. * June 2017 - I have divided the Two Cents Edward VII Issue into three separate pages: Misplaced Entries, Major Re-entries, Re-entries * September 2018 - Update of the 5¢ page is pending.

WAR TAX ISSUES |
Even most non-re-entry collectors are familiar with the famed Major Re-entry on the 1¢ Admiral, but there are *SO* many more out there. Here are some to whet your appetites.
(These pages are dedicated to Hans Reiche.)
The 2¢ Admiral pages have been divided into separate Carmine and Green pages.
The Carmine section is now composed of three pages to accommodate all of the findings. Carmine Page 1 Carmine Page 2 Carmine Page 3
A new page has been added to begin the study of a possible over-rocked transfer roll on the 3¢ brown Admiral. The single 3¢ page has been separated into one for brown and one for carmine. Another new page has been added to show 15 copies of 3¢ brown Admirals with strange vertical columns of dashes in the upper left. Cause is unknown. A new page added for Admiral Booklet Pane re-entries. A new page added for Admiral Coil stamp re-entries. (Sept. 29, 2009) * June 2017 - I have done a revamp of the 1¢ and 2¢ pages, adding many full stamp scans as many of viewers have requested. The single 1¢ Admiral page has been divided up into FOUR separate pages: Misplaced Entries & Major Re-entries, Major Re-entries (Continued), and Re-entries, as well as a separate page for Misplaced & Re-entered Imprints on The Admiral Issue.

Unbeknownst to many collectors, the siderographers, when laying down the images on the plates, sometimes also had difficulties getting the plate imprints in their proper positions. This page contains a surprising array of such Misplaced Imprints from Pence to Provinces to Postage Due, including a misplaced and burnished imprint coupled with an incorrect plate number, both misplaced in different directions. There is also a Bluenose with a misplaced serial number!

USA REVENUE STAMPS - Before I enter my own section on U.S.A. Revenue Stamp Double Transfers, I am pleased to present a Specialized Collection of these stamps by Mr. Karl Lackemacher, a student of these issues who specializes in the plating of the various issues. He very generously offered to send me the scans of several hundred varieties (double transfers, foreign entries, various scratches and blobs) asking if I would interested in adding them to my website. I of course jumped at the opportunity! While Mr. Lackemacher does not every single stamp shown here, most of them are his, and there are some spectacular items!

With all of the above, far be it for me to even suggest that Canada is alone in our creation of re-entries. Yes, folks, siderographers all over the world have given us a tremendous variety of incredible re-entries to search for and enjoy. Here are just a few, starting with our neighbour to the south, the United States of America. A new page has been added for re-entries on the 2¢ brown issue of Hawaii, Scott #75, of 1894. *August 2018 - A complete revamp of the USA section is in progress - I am dividing up the loooong USA page into much smaller sections to make it easier to locate the stamps you wish to find, without having to scroll through the entire list. (For links below that are not underlined, these pages have not been completed as yet, so please refer to the MAIN link to the left, U..S.A RE-ENTRIES.) United States Double Transfers have now been divided up into 20+ separate pages. The sections are as follows: USA 1 Scott #1-229 USA 2 Scott #230-245 The Columbian Issue.
