Sigh .... http://www.ebay.com/itm/CKStamps-US...em5d53fcb37bETA: This is Scott #24. You don't even really need to look at the side ornaments. No Plate 4 stamps, the source of Sc. #21, have top and bottom breaks as large as those found on all examples of Sc. #24. The only exception is position 99R2, which is Sc. #21 in perforated form. And this is a truly rare variety. |

raymodj - you can use me as a reference for the USPCS also. Send me a PM - I tried to PM you, but the software blocked my e-mail because I don't have enough posts. |

Thank you both, I am now a member of USPCS.

EDIT: One of Kennys employees must have posted that Franklin, considering how much discussion went into the last one. |

To boot, this one is reperfed at right to hide the "incomplete side ornaments." |

Thanks for pointing out the article by David Zlowe. Just finished it, helps me look at the 1 cent Franklins outside the type boxes.
That latest stamp you linked to is a tough one with all the missing info. That perf trim is very deceptive. I can't even tell for sure if it's relief A or possibly C or D.
Edited for incorrect autocorrect. |

Lines up very well, so just stole some extra perf length from it's former neighbor. I'd like to hear your opinion on type. I can't positively type this one, but I wouldn't list stamps for sale as 21s if I wasn't confident that's what they are. |

The wonders of this forum is that we all learn. I started this thread because the right edge looked cut to me. After hearing Bill Weiss and other experts, I realize that for me to buy an S-21, it must have certification. I hope others are learning as much as I am. |

disi123: The hole shapes looked wrong to me, but I'll stand corrected on the reperfing. Thanks. |
