I have had a copy of each state of this stamp for a while (top stamps).
The state 1 is the actual stamp photographed in Seymour.
The photograph in Seymour's book shows two examples of each state, though the second copy is almost completely obscured by the top one.
A week or so ago I bought another copy of each state (bottom stamps), and there is no doubt that my new state 2 is the stamp 'underneath' in the photo.
This is a non-coincident repair, showing duplication of major rays in both stars.
In state 2 the left sideline is strengthened and the checkletter B is weakened.
An unusual feature of the repair is that the upper portion of the right sideline appears to be weaker than in the original state, with some light blurring in the margin adjacent (burr rub?).
There is a short TRL at lower left.
Though the reason for this re-entry is probably to restore worn engraving, I have not as yet seen a state 1 print of this stamp showing any degree of wear.
Indeed, both the above state 2 prints are more worn than the state 1s.
Four state 2 prints have been seen.
Four state 2 prints have been seen.
