Description: Scott #3036 Red Fox top right corner Sheet 4 Stamps double $ lines - MNH B3333Scott #3036 Red Fox top right block 4 Stamps double $ lines MNH B3333 These stamps have the highly sought after $ sign with two vertical lines,and is the first US stamp to contain a scrambled Indicia image.Mint Never Hinged This is the left half of a full sheet of stamps The 1-dollar multicolored Red Fox (Scott 3036) definitive was announced by the United States Postal Service on August 13, 1998, and issued the following day. It was the first definitive to contain a 'Scrambled Indicia' image that can only be seen through a special acrylic decoder lens.Robert Giusti designed the black, cyan, magenta, and yellow self-adhesive stamp, which was printed on the Banknote Corporation of America's Goebel 670 offset press and distributed in panes of twenty, four stamps across and five down on the pane. Offset printing plates of 240 subjects were used to print the stamp. One set of four offset plate numbers preceded by the letter ‘B’ appeared in the selvage above or below each corner stamp. The stamp had die-cut simulated perforations, 11½ x 11¼, cut on the Arpesco/Innotech rotary die cutter.As a security measure, BCA incorporated a 'Scrambled Indicia' image in the stamp--a small silhouette of a fox printed in the lower left corner of the design. In addition, microprinting was also incorporated in the design: “RED FOX” can be found on a branch at the bottom of the design and “USPS” is on the splintered end of the limb on which the fox is lying. “©/USPS/1998.,” “$1.00/x20/$20.00.,” “PANE POSITION,” and an accompanying pane position diagram were printed in the selvage.The red fox ranges more widely than any terrestrial carnivore, spanning most of North America and Eurasia, with several populations in North Africa. Red foxes are found in a variety of biomes, from prairies and scrubland to forest settings. Though best suited to lower latitudes, they sometimes venture considerably farther north.
