 More and more re-entries on the Jubilees are coming to light after over 100 years of existence. Re-entries have now been found on almost every value, including possibly the 2¢ green. Reports of the latter are eagerly anticipated.

These close-ups show the main identifying features. Many more details can be found on the stamps.

Scott #50

Half Cent Black

Re-entry 1

Plate Position Unknown

This is the first re-entry I have seen on the ½¢ Jubilee. Numerous marks are found in POSTAGE, VRI, in and below the 1897, and around CENT. These markings seem typical of the re-entries found recently on the various values of the Jubilee Issue.

I was able to find two of these within a short time of each other, proving constancy. Plate position has yet to be determined.

Michael D. Smith has added a nice copy of this re-entry on a plate proof. Scroll down to below the close-ups of the issued stamp scans.

Scott #50

Half Cent Black

Re-entry 2

Plate Position 5

This stamp shows evidence of a major re-entry, possibly even a misplaced entry, throughout much of the design. Each of the six scans shown here contains some details of doubling.

Harry Voss of Saskatoon has plated this re-entry as being from position #5, and has been seen in both a plate position proof, as well as a plate position block of the issued stamp.
