Looked in my dupes and found 24 examples of 220a (cap on left 2) and 220c (caps on both 2s).

My guess is these caps are relief breaks.

See scans

First off 220a

Now the 220c

Image Not Found

Now then 220c on cover

Now then I've heard here on SoR a member said there is a 220 with cap on right 2, I was not aware of this, could any SOr member post a scan please along with a close up?

Any other soR member besides mine (I say relief breaks and they are progressive)?

Now then close of stamp on cover

Hi David,
They are indeed relief breaks.
Here are a few of my 220a & 220c allong with a possible cap on right 2. It may just be an underinking.

This is the cover of a reference I have for these issues.

Three pages concerning the cap on right 2.

re: 220a & 220c

Thank you!

Must needed reference for me, I will incorpriate your reference material into mine!

Again thank you!

Ok, for a question I've had for many years, but could not confirm or confirm: Was the matser die for 220 transfed to the BEP and had triangles engraved for the first issue by BEP for the 1894 issue? Do you know anything of this?
