Sep 22, 2025

Guillaume Vadeboncoeur has just provided us with a scan of a 2¢, which is one we all should be looking for. It is the first time a re-entry showing doubling in all 5 zones has been reported. The doubled lines in the nose and forehead are striking.

Two Great Covers and a New CPV

Nov 7, 2024

Guy Jeffery has been at it again. After a very successful visit to the Royal in Fredericton recently, he submitted two covers. The first is a great domestic cover showing a strip of three of the 1¢. The left stamp showing 1F8.1s2 and providing us with a date for this CPV. The second cover, to the US is franked with the earliest reported example of 6F2.1 from position A-66.

Previously, he had sent me two examples of a new 3¢ CPV - 3F1.24, a scratch in the 'CE' of Cents.

We use Statser to measure basic website usage without cookies. The system processes page views, clicks, form submissions without form contents, referrers, browser/device information, error pages, approximate visit duration, and pseudonymous visitor keys. Full IP addresses are not stored permanently by Statser; they are processed briefly on the server to create a pseudonymous visitor key, apply technical exclusions, and optionally resolve approximate GeoIP information. If GeoIP is enabled, the IP address is checked locally against a MaxMind GeoLite2 database to determine the approximate country or city. The visitor IP address is not sent to MaxMind. MaxMind is contacted only to download and update the GeoLite2 database. Detailed data is deleted after the configured detail retention period. For long-term trends, Statser also stores aggregated daily values without individual visitor profiles.
