US Stamp A1957 - Scott 2603 And 2604 Images Requested

I have six of these stamp. Three have the date 1996 and three do not. The catalog lists two stamps of this design, one colored Orange, Yellow and Multi, and the other Gold and Multi. They all look Gold and Multi to me.

Images, advice and morale support appreciated.

There are a number of varieties of the stamps you refer to. The "1996" dated ones would be Scott #2907 (reprinted from the earlier versions.)

There's also Scott #2602 that is easily identifiable, because the "USA" is at the end of the text line rather than at the beginning and the colors of the text are switched ("USA" is red and "Bulk Rate" is blue).

As for Scott #2603 and #2604, here's a side-by-side comparison:

Gee you guys are swell.
