Some US Classic Stamps

Hi guys, I am sorry for probably stupid question, but could you please correct me if I am wrong in Scott number and grill type identification:

1. Sc #29 5c Jefferson



2. WASHINGTON Sc# ???


3. WASHINGTON Sc# 17 ?


4. Lincoln Sc# 254

Stamp #1 Scott #29 has a projection at top and bottom. Yours does not.
Stamp #2 Should be #10 or 11
Stamp #3 Should be #17 or a trimmed #36
Stamp #4 is not #254, 254 has triangles in the corners #222 does not.

This is based on a quick look. The #'s I gave you should be checked.

IMHO none of those have grills that I can see.

revstampman, thanks for named Scott numbers, the first stamp should #30, the rest of them should be ok.

I hate it when people delete their photobucket images.........................

yeah me too.

.... me three.

So that begs the question, why not post them on this site ?

guys, don't be angry with deleted pix from forum, I've just moved them in photobucket to another folder, and forget to repair in a forum, sorry for that.

in order not making a new topic about us classic stamps, ask in this one,what's the differece between Sc#J38 and #J45, comparing it on pix, I can't notice any difference, what # do I have?

The 5c is a reperfed 30a, the 3c is a #11, the 12c is a #36 with trimmed perfs (You can see, especially if you look at the reverse, two perf notches) and the 4c is a #222, aka "Small Banknote".

billw2:
I was just looking at that 30a and thinking the perfs looked really wrong.
I agree with your assessment of the perfs.

I also thought "11" on the second stamp the instant I saw it, but I remembered
there are a few different versions of the 11. I believe there were a few different
printings, and the border lines were recut each time. So there sub-groupings for 11.
Also, the only distinction between 11 and 12 (or was it 10 and 11?) is a shade of color.

As for the 12c, someone butchered that thing IMO.

I gotta ask: Does the "W2" in your handle stand for Chief Warrant?

Well,

The 5c Ty2s don't tend to come very well centered, but those margins are, shall we say, a bit too close ;)

There's actually a lot of differences between #10s and #11s, (Although I read that Scott changed the numbers on them somewhat recently). Basically, only certain plates produced Orange Browns, and those plates weren't used to produce #11s. Also, Orange Browns were only really in use for about 10 months.

Wait, here's the site I was looking for!

Oh, and my name means I am Bill W the 2nd, my dad was Bill W the first, he had a great 10c 61 collection and growing up with him is how I got into Philately.

Bill,

That site is a great reference, thanks!
