10c MG type II broken L plate variety

2011-10-15T09:40:00.000-07:00

The first stamp from left to right in this strip is the 'broken L" plate variety. It is a repeatable variety from the master pattern used to make the plate.

Here are alignment lines added to show that the five by five matrix has miss-alignments on the plate.

The first stamp is the 'broken L" plate variety.

The first stamp is the 'broken L" plate variety.

10c MG type I major plate varieties

2011-10-15T09:25:00.000-07:00

These two plate varieties are repetitive thoughout the plate. This plate was manufactured using a five horizontal by two vertical master die, and that means that each of these varieties was printed on one out of every ten type I stamps. One variety has a nick to the lower right edge, and the other has a scratch in the field to the right of Rivadavia.

The second stamp's scratch.

Here is an additional example of the first plate variety.

A selection of 10c MG type III (flat plate)

2011-10-15T09:18:00.000-07:00

Type III stamps are co-mingled with type II stamps on the flat plate. The type III stamps have a very small dot midway along the edge of Rivadavia's lapel.

The second stamp is type III

I also find that the last A of REPUBLICA in many type III stamps has a small dot at the upper tip of the inside triangle.

Here are additional examples.

The first stamp is type III

... and so is the second one.

MG overprint comparisons using the 10c value

2011-10-15T08:38:00.000-07:00

The images here show side-by-side comparisons of the type I overprint, and the type II/III overprint. I find that most type I stamps have an easy to type overprint and this can aid in finding them and separating them from the much more (my estimate is 10 times more common) types II and III. There is a very small difference in the height of the G, with the type II G being slightly taller.

The type II G (lower one in the figure below) has a slightly wider rim.

The M and the G are about the same distance apart for both types.

The dot after the M is noticeably smaller on most type I stamps when compared to the type II/III stamps.

When looking at both overprints, we can small differences in the style of the font: the bars of the M are slightly thicker for the type I stamps, and the G hooks differently.

The M for the type II/III stamps is slightly taller.

Both Ms are about the same width.

A large selection of the 10c MG

2011-10-15T08:26:00.001-07:00

I have taken a look at 2000+ stamps of the 10c MG. This selection contains all types, a wide selection of overprint and plate varieties, and also a large selection of postmarks. In these images I show how one of the batches (of 1000) was wrapped-as batches of 100 stamps.
