Is the 58R5L the only plate and position with the dip in the upper frame line above U.S.? Sorry the image is a bit blurry in the area in question. I think that bit of hinge is affecting the scan quality.  |

Stampcrow,
No. Your stamp has a top guide dot (above the upper right diamond block), which almost always means a top row position. At first glance, this is almost certainly 6L5L. |

Here is an image of 6L5L from the Chase plating photo:  |

Holy moly! It's like you put that dot there and I'm seeing it for the first time. Now it's the first thing I see. Awesome.
So would it be the sixth stamp from the left side, top row of plate 5L? |

There are actually a couple of other candidates I'm checking out. Do you have an image of the full stamp? |

Stampcrow, Upon closer examination, your stamp is actually position 8R2L. On this position the dip in the top frame line is lowest over the S. On 6L5L the dip is lowest over the U. Also, the right inner frame line on your stamp ends slightly to the right of the upper right triangle, as in 8R2L. On 6L5L it falls short of the triangle.  |

Here's a little image editing trick I use as a plating aid: turn the image on its side and squash it to simulate viewing it on a low angle. Your stamp is overlaid on the Chase 8R2L image to show the match in the top frame line curves.  |

Yes 8R2L. Impressive that your diving into plating these! Even though you got it wrong initially you know now how to better spot the little things! (I got it wrong too initially so don't feel bad  ) These are some of my favorites to plate. I've not had the time to indulge lately however but I'm glad to see your taking in interest in this. Wait until you try the 1¢ blue Franklin's! lol I'm no good at all with those! |

The information I've gained here, has given me a huge leg up. This is great. I only have three other #11's. I'll give them a shot in the next few days and then post my "findings". It will be interesting to see how I do.
Thanks to everyone that has responded! |
