Hello folks, This stamp was loose in an old album but found near a mounted #184. Someone wrote 1879 on the back in pencil. I am asking if this is a #184? Also is it a fancy cancel? What type of cancel? Am I correct in thinking the stamp is only worth 99 cents? Here is a closeup photo of the bottom. From what I can see it does not have secret marks. However the printing lacks detail.
it does have the secret mark. the cancel is a common cork cancel of the day. the paper should be soft porous. not hard white. IF the date is correct it is a 184. next other it could be is a 207 now if the paper is hard white with secret mark it could be a 158.
