Thank you for showing these varieties! I flyspeck Ireland and reading about similar material for other areas helps train the old brain to recognize double transfers and other such goodies. Nice clear pics, too!

re: Second Revenue Series R150 with Foreign Design Transfer

Hi Everyone;

@ David;

I was just going to ask, as I'm sure others are also wondering the same thing and are too shy to look as ignorant as I do. Just what exactly is a Foreign Design Transfer? I know what a plate error is, like for example the "broken hat" variety of the 2¢ Columbian Exposition.

From looking at your images, it appears to me that there is an impression that is from a completely different stamp design. Am I wrong or what?? If it is how did it get where it is?? Just wondering. Confused

Keep on Searchin'

Thanks for the photos and explanations. Now I'll have to look at my R-series to see if they match these Foreign designs!

On this thread did you mean to say R120 instead of R150? The R150 is the $20 orange.

FYI, the technical term for this is "foreign entry" not "foreign design transfer".

Very pricey at $450 in Scott, so you did VERY well for a buck. Very collectible.

The centering on your example is typical for these. Most are horribly shifted to the left or right. Finding one that is well centered is a challenge.
