I have several US Revenues, but have no idea how to correctly identify them. I believe that this is a 1874, perf 12, Scott R151. This one just seems different because it has a very dark "US Inter Rev" and some other areas that differ from my other stamps. Anything special here?

If it's on violet paper it is #135 (1871), if it is on green paper it is #151. It seems darker because it is "oxidized", this often happens to the orange and yellow revenues of the 1862-1875 era. A weak solution of hydrogen peroxide will bring back the normal color.
