I'm not foolish enough to get my hopes up, but I want some opinions on the cancel of this stamp. The stamp is creased, but is the cancel worth sending it off to an expert?

Looks like an orange-red grid cancel.

Cancel is RED...orange is a distinct color...thus scarce.

Was the orange cancel a grid cancel only or are there other styles of orange cancels?

As usual, the Philatelic Foundation website has useful pictures. Based on the their pictures, the difference between orange-red, red-orange, and true orange is quite subtle. This is orange, per the PF:

that casts even more questions since the cancel isn't clear. Don't think there will ever be a true answer on this one
