Foro de Filatelia Argentina

The centennial series had been printed by the Compañia Sudamericana de Billetes de Banco in recess. Most of the stamps were bi-coloured, only a few values had a single colour:

3c green
5c red
12c blue
1 peso blue

Not all catalogues mention the fact that the 12c and 1 peso in fact had been printed in 2 steps! The Mello Teggia does not mention it, but includes an "inverted centre" for the 12c! How is that possible????

Kneitschel does mention the 2 steps for both the 12c and the 1 peso, but how about the 3c and 5c???

In detail the shift:

In detail the shift:

Is there a shift or not????

The guiding dots are not always on the same spot! And as there were 2 plates been used we should find 2 dots as well!

Re-entries???

no re-entry:



small lines sticking out! Both left and right portrait!

Not only the 30c but also the 20c!

small lines sticking out! Both left and right portrait!

Not only for the 1892 definitives but also for the 1910 Commemoratives series printed in recess in order to facilitate the transfer-roll overbringing of the design on the plates special target or guiding dots had been made first in the plate:

for the 5c:

for the 1/2c even with 2 dots as they had been printed in 2 coloured recess:

for the 2c just 1 dot although they had been printed in 2-coloured recess:



The dot for the 3c is just about to be spotted

for the 4c just 1 dot although they had been printed in 2-coloured recess:



The dots for the 10c are just about to be spotted - at least one of them may get lost in the perforation

For the 12c there are either 1 or 2 dots although they had been printed in 1-coloured recess so 1 dot should do *:





The dots for the 20c are hard to spot - there should be 2 of them but...




*
as I stated in a previous posting the 12c is indeed bi-coloured!

The dots for the 24c are not hard to spot - there are 2 of them as expected ....

1c:










the dots may find their way deep inside the design itself!


2c:






30c:





the dots may find their way deep inside the design itself!

50c:

No conocía la variedad de $1, me fijaré en el acumulado para buscar repetición de variedad.

El sello del congreso 12c, se trata de desplazamiento N(norte o superior) ya que la impresión que se efectuaba en 2 etapas, muy común en la serie la ausencia de centrado. Esto es válido para el comentario de los sellos de 20c y 30c también.

El detalle de la hoja del 3c que ingresa en el círculo lo tengo visto, pero no sé la posición de plancha para ser exacto.(alguién tiene plancha completa para buscarlo?).

El tema de los puntos en los márgenes de la viñeta, si bien no hay bibliografía que lo avale, mi conclusión es que se debe a marcas de referencia para centrar las planchas en la impresión. (marco y centro por separado).
