Re-entry - duplication of part of a stamp design due to a first impression having been inadequately erased, and thus enabling traces of its 'entry' to appear in conjunction with the new impression, causing a doubling of a part of the image.
Re-entry - a second entry on a plate position, made by carefully re-rocking the transfer roll over the initial impression. If not done carefully, a double transfer may result.
Re-Entry Error (production error)
What's wrong with this picture? No, it's not the perforations, which are poorly aligned, but not so bad as to be considered freaks or errors.
re-entry - After being used for a while, some of the plates used to print stamps would wear or become cracked. Printers sometimes tried to repair them by impressing them with the original die.
Nachgravierung: (Ger.) re-entry.
Nachgummiert: (Ger.) regummed.
Nachicevan: labels from part of Azerbaijan, political statement by then president Alier Chaw.
Nachläufer: (Ger.) stamp postally used after it ceased to be valid.
Re-entry - Characteristic doubling or thinning of portions of the design of a line-engraved postage stamp caused by the impression having ben entered more than once on the plate.
A re-entry caused doubling that is very prominent on the "T" of "AUSTRALIA" and to a lesser extent on the "FO" of "KINGSFORD" and the "LD" of "WORLD." This occurred only in position No. 65 on plate No. 3, making it quite a scarce stamp.
