| Newfoundland Re-entries Long Coronation Issue 1937 3¢ Newfoundland Map (orange brown)
This value of the Long Coronation Issue is another that seems to have been completely ignored by the literature and catalogues when it comes to re-entries, yet there are a number of lovely ones to found on the 3¢. While a goodly number of doubled frameline re-entries exist, there are a few that I would consider of major proportions. Interestingly, all of the good re-entries I have found are on the Die I design. I have in my collection a lower half pane of 50 of the Die I and two half panes of 50 of the Die II (one is a left half and the other is a top half). |

Scott #234 The Major Re-entry Plate 1, Die I Plate Position #35 This stamp shows very clear doubling of the right side of the design, including 'POSTAGE,' the LR '3,' 'NTS' and the corner of the frameline. On the left side of the stamp, there is doubling of 'LABRADOR' and 'Corner Brook.'

Scott #234 A Major Re-entry Plate 1, Die I Plate Position #84 This stamp shows a strong shift of the entire bottom portion of the design, including both 3's and all of 'THREE CENTS.' The inside edge of the left side of the portrait oval is also slightly doubled. |

Scott #234 Strong Re-entry Plate 1, Die I Plate Position #98 This re-entry shows sharp doubling of the lower right '3,' as well as the top of 'NTS' and portions of the bottom frameline. There is also a very distinctive retouch under the left '3.'

Scott #234 Strong Re-entry Plate 1, Die II Plate Position #34 This is a very interesting constant plate variety and it occurs on a Die II stamp. It is uncertain as to just what kind of variety this is in the 'N', as it does not look like a typical re-entry. It would be a most unusual retouch as well. There also appears to be some doubling in the 'E' of POSTAGE. |

| *13 | Scott #234 Misplaced Entry a Plate 1, Die I Plate Position Unknown While searching for re-entries on this stamp, I came across several items that appear to have a misplaced portion of design across a very narrow vertical band through the 'r' of 'Corner' and the 'F' of NEWFOUNDLAND. This design element appears to wear off of the plate, as seen in the following two examples. Any further information on this variety would be welcome. |

|
| *14 | Scott #234 Misplaced Entry b Plate 1, Die I Plate Position Unknown This state is somewhat worn compared to the above. |
|
|
| *15 | Scott #234 Misplaced Entry c Plate 1, Die I Plate Position Unknown This state is even more worn, with all of the detail above the 'r' now missing. Interestingly, this stamp also shows a slight re-entry of the left vertical frameline that is not present on the earlier states. |
