The Wagshal Collection Part 4: Perforated One-Cent 1857-60 Issue continued...

FINE. AN OUTSTANDING 1857 ONE-CENT TRANSFER VARIETY FROM PLATE ELEVEN. NEINKEN BELIEVED THIS WAS A DOUBLE TRANSFER, BUT WAGSHAL ARGUED STRONGLY THAT THE GROSSLY SHIFTED TRANSFER WAS AN ERASED ENTRY AND OTHER LINES WERE EVIDENCE OF A RE-ENTRY.

The enlarged photo shows the fine details of the erased transfer at bottom, which was shifted about 2mm to the left of the primary transfer. Using Photoshop, we determined that Wagshal was correct in his judgment that other secondary transfer lines could not possibly align with the erased transfer.

With 1970 P.F. certificate stating "genuine with one re-entry", reflecting Neinken's opinion. (Image)

EXTREMELY FINE. AN EXCEEDINGLY RARE EXAMPLE OF THE 1857 ONE-CENT PLATE ELEVEN TRIPLE TRANSFER. ASHBROOK AND NEINKEN REGARDED THIS VARIETY AS SECOND ONLY TO THE INVERTED TRANSFERS ON PLATE ONE.

The Neinken book devotes almost two full pages to this extraordinary transfer variety (pp. 474-476). Ashbrook-Neinken note that there were three entries from the relief: the original entry was badly misplaced and almost entirely erased, a second fresh entry was made, and then over this a third re-entry was made. The last two were made from the same relief (A Relief), but it is not known if the first entry was also made from the A Relief. The Neinken book contains four diagrams illustrating the plating characteristics.
