Those are Scott # R14 issued 1875 -78. They were un-watermarked until 1878 when wmk 191R (double line USIR) was used. They come perforated or rouletted. Also on silk paper. I'm sure in your stack of 45 you have a number of varieties.
For interests sake, here's mine (I only have the one). It has a watermark.
The image of course is Lady Liberty.
