Decided to go through my Small Queens today to try to make up some labels. While I was double-checking for position dots on the 6¢ issues I noticed some doubling at the bottom of the stamps. Closer examination revealed the tell-tale heavy line through the CANADA along the top... yes it had been sitting under my nose without notice for quite some time. #39ii the 6¢ major re-entry.
Here it is;

Nice find- Does anyone have or for that matter seen the 6c double impression as shown in unitrade? Looked at 1000's of listings and never came across that one.

I've only seen one listed years ago in an Eastern Auction I believe.To date never seen one myself but then there's others I also have never seen as well.

Nitro, are you reffering to the 5-cent on 6-cent double entry? I have never seen one of those other than in catalogues and books. I would love to get even a look at the real thing, never mind having one in my book.

Yes the 5c on 6c is something I have never seen offered or in a collection. Even some of the extreme major re entries on the 6c are so strong the word cents look like a full double impression. Just came across the one below with 3 position dots LL corner. There are a couple large queens with "Balloon dot" varities (12.5c and 15c ) that have this multiple position dots listed in unitrade but I don't see anything about this on either of the 6c small queen listings in unitrade.   |

That's very cool Nitro, all of mine have just one (or none) dot.
