Plate Varieties on 1st-3rd Issue U.S. Revenues(Last updated on March 4, 2012) One of the most diverse and fun areas to collect in U.S. revenues is the various plate errors of the first, second, and third issues. There are a myriad of double and triple transfers, scratched and cracked plates, doubled frame lines, and a host of others. Some of these are listed in Scott, but many are not. More importantly, previously unseen (or unnoticed) varieties are being discovered every day. You can drive yourself to blindness by examining every facet of every stamp. Frequently, when looking at Scott, since many of the listed varieties are listed but not pictured, you wind up asking yourself "Ok, so exactly WHERE should I be looking on the stamp for this variety??" These pages are an attempt to document as many of the varieties as I can, and more importantly, show real-world examples of them, not just penciled diagrams. Some of these stamps are from my personal collection, whereas others have been submitted by readers of this website. If you have any examples of varieties not shown here, or a better-quality example, and are willing to contribute a high-resolution scan of the stamp, it would be greatly appreciated. Please scan the stamp at 1200 dpi and save it as a JPEG at the highest quality (lowest compression) setting and email it to me at info@revenue-collector.com. Also, any commentary or additional details about varieties are welcome. My thanks to the following people that have contributed images to this effort:
