U.S. Scott # UX 14, 1897 1c Thomas Jefferson, black on buff, VARIETY 7 - MINT FACE Postal Card (See Warranty)

Other Details

VARIETY 7: All the action is concentrated in the line "THIS SIDE IS FOR THE ADDRESS ONLY". The card is unremarkable otherwise....unless I missed something. 1. This is annoying...but my scanner is not picking up what I need it to pick up. Possibly because the inking is a bit light. You'll have to rely on the description more than the scans. THI of THIS is similar to variety 6. The I is present (Just doesn't show in the scan!), but shorter than the S. The legs of H are shorter than in variety 6. The left top of T is shorter than the right. 2. The I in SIDE is present, but weak, sometimes looking like a semicolon. The I in IS also present. 3. Both the F and R in FOR have short legs. The O is or normal size. 4. The R of ADDRESS has short legs. The A has practically no legs. 5. The Y of ONLY has a short stem.
