Taunton Circular Duplex cancels - Die 1

In April 1858 the first three-bar Circular Cuplex cancels (3CD) were issued to Taunton.  There are two groups of cancels, one where the "77" in "776" are closely spaced (Die 1) and one where the "76" in "776" are closely spaced (Die 2). Each Die has been recut, Die 1 three times (so four in total) and Die 2 once (so two in total).

Here are examples of Die 1 and its three recuts, starting with the initial Die 1-1 issued on 28th April 1858.

First recut, Die 1-2, issued on 7th April 1859.

 

Second recut, Die 1-3, issued on 27th July 1868:

Third recut, Die 1-4, issued by June 1875
