529	O	332 var.	#332 var., 2c Carmine, foreign entry, design of 1c error, used with killer portion of duplex postmark, deep rich color, centered to lower right, trivial corner perf. tip crease at bottom left, fine for this rare and unusual error.According to Max Johl "It seems that the transfer man, in making up plate no. 5299, made an erroneous entry with a one cent relief, discovered his error, eradicated it as best he could and then transferred the proper two cent relief in the same position leaving, however, sufficient lines of the 1 cent entry so as to produce a most interesting variety. This occurred in the upper left pane and is the fourth stamp under the plate # 5299. This variety is therefore a double entry similar to the 5 cent error of 1917, but in this case the wrong entry came first rather than last."
