Perhaps its because I want to see it. But, can someone confirm there is a curl in the hair of this #24. I'm away from my reference books so I can't at this time. I believe the curl is mostly hidden behind the blurred "Paid" cancel but enough is visible that I think its there.

If you don't know what I'm talking about, then briefly, the 1 cent Franklin's are graced with many plate flaws, scratches, curls and one time FUBARS. Its fun to collect these varieties and identify the plate position they come from.

Ray,

Thanks for looking, I'll look at it tonight after work. I got back to PA last night around 11:00 it should be in Neiken. I'll let you know what plate position I find.

Well, I couldn't find the curl either.
I'll continue looking to plate it without the curl.
Until I get it in my hands I won't worry about it any more.
