Here are a few of the varieties I have as Proof copies of the 3d Beaver:
The first is Pane A, Position 31 showing the plate scratches in the lower right corner.
The next one is a nice re-entry, note the doubling in the upper left three and frame lines just right of the crown. there is doubling in most of the lettering as well. This is Pane A, Position 91.
The next is Pane B, Position 3 with re-entered imprint and a vertical tool mark known as the "Sliced Crown and Beaver" flaw.
The next is a nice re-entry with extra vertical line lower left and the back of the upper right 3 extending into the frame lines. Doubling in and around POSTAGE, REE PENCE and oval frame lines. This is Pane B, Position 42.
The next proof is a "Trial Color Proof" in orange. It is Pane B, Position 61. A nice re-entry with doubling in all the lettering, frame lines top center, and the bottoms of the lower 3's. This image is cropped from a proof block of four this being the lower left stamp.
If anyone has others they wish to share feel free to add them in this thread.
