Barb, I agree with Russ that it is a 73 as it doesn't appear to have a grill. Here are scans of a Scott 87 (E grill). As you can see on the scan of the face there are little, if any, signs of a grill; however, the back of the stamp provides a much different perspective.  |

Thanks, you guys are the best! I'm happy to know; I've got to work on learning more about grills and watermarks. |

I'm also curious about that red verticle line. I also think that there is a red verticle line on the edge of the left perforations when viewing the stamp from the back. |

I_Love_Stamps While the 73 you showed is nice you may wish to take a closer look at the 209. If that scan is even half correct you might wiant to compare it to the Swedish Tiger example. Here is a very nice one that I just sold.  |

That is a real good looking 87 as well, I think it's going to find a real nice home!
