i have been looking very hard at the washington's 3 cents a140/

i do love the imperfs and coils the best.

i am not am having a hard time deciding what this stamp id can be.

i have compared it to the photos on the sweedish tigers site and am even more confused

i think that the cancel hides some of the details needed..but the left 2 is very short and almost cut off.

give me your thoughts.

thanks

This looks like type 5a offset, Scott 528 or 534.
It could very well be the perforated 528 with the perfs scissor'd off.

As chasa said it is a Va, there is 2 dots missing on the nose which is unique to the Va, and it has the almost/broken tail in the left 2 which is present on the v and the Va. If you go back to the site and compare the v and the Va you can see the 2 dots that are missing on one line in the middle of the nose

i thought it was a was a Va too but just wanted to see your opinion too...i wanted to get an open minded opinion...that is why I did not state that earlier...i admit the I did not consider that it could be cut down...but that would not surprise me from who I purchased it from.
i do not have very much invested in the stamp...it was in a lot...thanks for your help
