6¢ Brown

6F16.3

6¢ Line in Hair

A slightly sloping line from the top centre of the Queen's head.

Earl Noss provided an image of the second example and passed along the image of Jim McCormick's strip of 4, showing the variety at position 3.

Jim notes that the variety "comes from late printings of the BC plate in the re-entered state.  The 2nd stamp in the strip shows clear doubling from re-entry in the lower left corner.  So this one joins other late state varieties like the hairball, major 5-on-6 and other major re-entries."


Plate Flaw in Zone 16
Plate Position is Unknown


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.
