Anyone care to help me identify this 3c Washington Head stamp?



All I know for sure is that it's perf. 12. The subtle differences in the various Types always confuses me, so I thought I'd ask for some help to positively identify.

Thanks.

I believe it is a type I (top line of the toga rope is weak, the rope shading lines are thin, and the 5th shading line from the left is missing).



It doesn't appear to be on bluish paper (Scott 359) so check for a watermark -- 333 is DLW, 376 is SLW.

The perf-12 Washington heads are all type 1. The only varieties are in watermarks and blue paper. I agree with Tom, this is perf-12, not blue paper.

Watermark appears solid/single line (as in Type 190) making it a Scott #376.

Thanks for your help!

Beautiful margins on this one...don't know if it would be a Jumbo or not, but they're spot on centered, and large....nice stamp!

Thanks for pointing that out.

I never really made much of anything out of the centering since it is such a common stamp, but when you scan the stamp individually it does stand out from the usual run-of-the-mill copies!
