The Atherton shift was so-named by Stanley Ashbrook, who first saw an example in the collection of J. P. Atherton. About this striking variety, Ashbrook wrote about the stamp, "Here we have one of the most remarkable double transfers
on U. S. stamps that I have ever seen. I have for years classed the One Cent 1851, Type II, 89R2, as the No. 1 among remarkable examples of this variety and in my opinion this 2c Black Jack could well rank as No. 2. Perhaps some would even rank it
equal to the 1c". (Image)
