Pos 48L2, (Scott #7)

Scott #7 Blue,
Type II, Relief B
Issued both imperforate and perforated.
Perforated copies are more scarce.

Part of a 47-48L2 pair.

Plating Notes:
In Figure 1 (Below) of 48L2, just to the right of the upper red arrow, the outside curved line of Ornament H is short. Other short or weak ornaments on 48L2 are H (upper portion) and L. However, E is complete. Compare with 47L2 or other B relief's from this row.

Figure 1. (Below) Detail view of a small blur and area of which a dot is indicated in the plating diagrams. The small blur (As illustrated in Neinken) is actually the remnant of Ornament K which is mostly erased on this position. Compare this with 47L2 and other B relief positions.

Neinken also illustrates a dot below and to the right of the O of ONE (circle) which is not present on this stamp.
