I've added PUPs arrows.
I'd be very interested in seeing examples date before 1864, and any of the early matching period. Does any member have one of these?

These double transfers (shields) are fairly easy to find.
Also check "The Shift Hunters Letters" publication for other examples.

A "double transfer" is an flaw created in the plate where the plate position has been re-entered and then misaligned with the first entry or where the old entry was only partially erased before a fresh entry is made. The result is that extra lines are printed.
A "double Impression" is a stamp on which the design, or a portion of the design, is doubled during the printing process. This occurs when a sheet slips against an offset blanket, or when the press is stopped, relaxing the tension on the web.
It is really difficult on the scan that you posted to see the double transfer. A larger magnification would be helpful. I'm not sure what you are referring to concerning "stages".
If I wanted to "check 'The Shift Hunters Letters' publication", I would need to be a member of The United States Stamp Society; unless you wanted to show excerpts from your copy to help clarify?

Look at the arrows, then look at the top of the shields. If you still have problems, use your keyboard to enlarge these images.

As double transfers go, the double transfer on the R69 in the shields is easy to see, what difficult is telling the stages apart. I think the left example is a later stage than the right and proper stamp on the right.
