634A Type 1- Am I Right ?

I'm calling this a 634a type 1, being new at this, I have to ask - am I right ? The whole long/short ear thing is beyond my experience, I am assuming it's a short ear because it looks like the rest of them I have. It is 11x10.5 Thanks for your help !

Block of four, booklet pane margin stamp? All that needs to be considered. Can we see the entire thing?

There isn't a Scott listing for a "634a", just a "634". There is a listing for a "634A" but that would have to be a Type II. It's not a "Long Ear" or a "Smiling George". But it is a Type I. So the 11x10 1/2 would put it in the "634" family. If it is a booklet pane, it is a "634d". I don't think there are perfs on the left, so it looks like a "634d". If there are perfs on the left, it is a "634" with the margin removed.

Two heads are better than one. Wait for another post in case there's someone smarter than me.

IBFS....You are correct.

It is not a type II, 634A.

Here is the block- I'm listening, and learning :) Thank you !

Plate numbered block of four of #634.

Please explain more, why isn't it a 634a type I ?? what is the difference in type 1 or 2 ? I don't doubt you-just trying to learn, thanks for explaining :)

betty0513....634A is a type II, there are heavy shading lines in Washingtons head, plus other characteristics.
634 is a type I...the head does not have heavy shading.
This is easy....based on the block you shown....the plate # is a EE plate (Experimental-eye plate)
A Micarelli is recommended.

You can see the difference, examples shown, on this web site: www.1847usa.com. The difference is in some of the lines in the hair, the thickness of the circles in the four corners and the thickness of the lines at the acanthus leaf on the left.
Key in httm://www.1847usa.com/1922/634vs634A and it will take you to the examples.

Thank you, I have been using some web sites to help identify and they clearly aren't the best when it comes to detail. Thanks for the tips !
Those links are great- could see exactly what you guys were talking about. Thx
