3¢ Vermilion

3R8.1

Re-entry in UL and 'AN'

The 1874 is a very early printing and in it can be seen a faint line under the left three and a small mark in the middle of the left 3. These lines quickly fade away so the stamp is labeled a zone 8, and not 9.

The lines in A and N are the distinctive re-entries along with the bottom of the left roundel extending out at 6 o'clock.


Re-entry in Zone 8
Plate Position is Unknown

Earliest Recorded Use: Jan 1, 1874
