Please don't cut this one up until an expert has given you that advice.

Isn't 85 rose (and a different stamp)? You don't mean 63 or 63b, do you, dittrich? Those have no grill. |

It is hard to see the grill. To my troubled eyes, the grill looks more narrow than it is tall. Would that suggest a 92? |

The whole cover is most likely worth more than the stamp would no matter which one it was, I dont think anyone would be able to tell from a picture, someone who was good at grills most likely could tell you if they saw in person. |

Not 85A, but if you're going to dream, you might as well dream big! The points are vertical, not horizontal. Probably #92, "F" Grill. |

I just noticed that the "third" pic is actually the fourth and is upside down. The first pic is the UR corner of the cover, so I must revise.
In the third fourth pic, I reference "upper" and "lower" and "top" and "bottom" in terms of the positions in the photo and not the stamp. Counting from the top of the grill near the center column I am counting 15 rows of points plus a row of horizontal half points. In the pic the grill is bounded above by the base of the bust, and extends to about halfway down on Franklin's forehead.
In the first second pic starting at bottom left working to the right and moving up as necessary I cannot count more than 12 columns of points. As I see it, the first column on left starts a little to the left of the "O" of "ONE" and the last column is on line with the "E" of "CENT"
Based on these images the stamp appears to me to have an F-grill and is Scott #92.

You're getting it, You have the right idea in rotating the stamp 90 degrees for another view. After all, we are looking at a rectangular array.
In this last pic I can see that the bottom of the grill is just a little further down in the design than I had first thought. Now the count looks like 16 rows, bounded by half rows at top and bottom when viewed normally on the stamp. However, the new image does not change my perception of the width of the grill as 12 points.
I am quite sure this is an F-grill. |
