There are two types, Type A and Type B, Type A is a normal printing and Type B has the small extension line jutting out from the inside border on the bottom left as shown in the image, does yours have a line in the bottom left?

Hi Pooh
I’m quite confident your stamp is a type B.

Hi Horamakhet
I have a few more little surprises to keep you on your toes which I will post soon.
Types A & B is the result of using two roller dies (official numbers 2128 & 2139). Roller 2128 bore two impressions, one of which had the denominations erased for preparation of the 3d and 9d dies. Since the 3d and 9d are both Type A, it is almost certain that roller 2128 had the Type A 2d impression, and roller 2139 had the Type B impression.
Archival records indicate that Type A was used to lay down one copper plate and the steel master plate from which four nickel electroplates were derived. Type B was used to lay down the other three copper plates.

Hi Pooh
Simply there are two plates used, one original and the other altered. Instead of creating three new plates, more than one plate is used during the printing process, the printer removed a few plates and had the 2d denomination removed (burnished) so the higher denominations can be added.
When a plate is burnished some faults will occur, the original (Plate A) does not have the lines as the plates were not altered.

Yes, both are common, they have the same catalogue value of $1.00 used. Together 96,000,000 were printed, it is not known which has the lower printing but both do run into the tens of millions.
