20 øre tr.1b. Looks like a strong double line above NMA plus color spot in D at the top, and color spots in  R, M, Ø and R at the bottom. This does not appear to match any of the OF types in LN's books. Any suggestions?

Hi Jim,

and welcome to the homepage. I think it looks very much like a double strike. I could be OF 115.

Dear Lars and Jim,

I have had a look in my own collection – unfortunately this was not much of help. The colour spots are probably “tryktilfældigheder”, which is often seen especially in print 1b. My guess is OF117 or 118, as the double strikes are quite distinct, OF 115 is small on my stamps.

Best wishes,

HS

Here is another example which looks to be the same double strike as

Jim's:

I was also unable to find a good match for this oval flaw, but the doubling is very distinct, from before the N to midway over the R.
