GREEN REVENUE VARIETIES
- This block of twelve stamps has a paper fold and in the area where the fold is (Bottom right corner) the text is printed double. There is a faint cancellation on the back of the pane that is not totally readable. What can be read is "17 12 ?". As a precaution against fraud when a sheet of stamps was purchased, a cancelation was put on the back. In all reality this would not deter forgers as they could make a canceling device and cancel the back themselves.
- The above illustrations are of a bottom of a sheet of stamps. After the stamp was printed, the paper evidently was torn and folded back before the perforations were made. As a result, when the fold is put back in place, there is a crazy pattern of perforations.
