Help For Classification Stamps USA

Good morning help me for classification this stamps? very hard best regards Simone

The ones with 2 sides without perforations are coil stamps, the others are regular postage stamps. Not sure what else you would like to know ?

I'm guessing he wants identifications, not classification. Need a W-F specialist here.

Hello pisti1978,
You have a lot of stamps to identify and the scans are too small. Try to help yourself first by using these links. Note that you will have to copy the whole address and then paste it into your browser:

Some of the perforations look very odd, but the pictures are small.

If you get stuck, then post a large detailed scan along with your question. That will help us to help you.

Good luck,

The 1-cent Washington appears to be Scott #412. Similarly, the 2-cent Washington in the bottom row (with the numeral 2 rather than "TWO") appears to be Scott #413. Once you get past the perf 8.5, I give up. The perfs on some of these stamps appear a bit strange to me, but I'm not an expert.

All of the Washington Franklin flat plate "coils" appear to be crude fakes, made from imperforate stock with fake perfs added.

srailkb, I agree but didn't want to say anything until I could see larger scans where I could prove it.

pisti1978, we can still help you with the others if we can see large detailed scans.

The perfs (hole size, hole shape, gauge, alignment, etc. -- virtually every visible characteristic, even from a distance...) are very problematic, and that alone is enough to dismiss them all. Higher resolution scans would undoubtedly show that the edges are wavy and non-parallel too, but such (additional) proof seems completely unnecessary to me.

Additional proof is unnecessary, but encouraging better images before being dismissive might lead to further Original Poster participation. Often times an O.P. seems "scared away" due to a lot of initial negativity.

pisti1978, we can still help you with the others. Please post larger scans.

Good morning, because of the time zone now I read your answers, you now move the best images

OK, the better scans "prove" all the flat plate coils are crude fakes. The one rotary coil pair (likely Scott 493, but should be watermarked to make sure it's not a Scott 456) is genuine, and IMO the best item of the group with a Scott catalog value of $35 (hinged.) Even with the centering issues, it might still fetch $5-$7 on ebay. Everything else is common, fake or faulty.

Coils appear to have been perforated with a blunt nail.

Thanks for the information, looking good have these perforation misaligned, I have others like you want to give an opinion if I move the images, so I separate them from the collection of the bad ones best regards Simone
