Can anyone help me identify these stamps as to their numbers? I am 100% new to stamps and I've seen a few people debate over similar stamps as to what their value and numbers were. Are these 544s? How can I tell? I found these amongst my Great Grandmother's belongings.

McCamley225 - WELCOME to our board!

The left stamp is perforated 12, so is Scott 405 and the right stamp is Scott 498.

Thank you very much for the clarification. Is this done by counting the little semi circles at the bottom part of the stamp?

The perforation gauge (measurement) is defined as the number of perforation holes or tips for a 2 centimeter length. There are perforation gauges to measure them.
