I came across this one and it just does not look right to me. Need some opinions as maybe it is just the way it was scanned. Where's Russ when you need him.

The overall appearance of the printing is very motted and has a very greenish hue. The scanner can cause color differences but the motted printing and the fact that the images are so small causes concern for me. Also listed are a #1 which looks very suspect and a 369 blue paper that is a 367. The seller has a good feedback score but almost all feedback is for items bought. One recent negative was for mis-represented coins sold.

That was one of my main problems that the scan did not show much detail. I already requested a new pic to be sent so we will see.

Forgot to add thanks Russ.

I think it may be #4, the 1875 reproduction. The line of the coat on the left seems to point to the left tip of the X and the line on the right looks as if it points to the center of the S.
