I came across this Scotts US Washington 3 cents 10a or 11a.
Not sure about the color but it does have some interesting marks.
Upper left triangle has one or two lines recut ?
Does the upper left diamond block have a recut line ?
Does the bottem lower left diamond block have a recut line ?
And is that a guide dot on bottem right under the diamond block ?
If those diamond blocks are recut its gota be a 10a seeing on how Scotts does not have a listing of any lower left diamond block recuts for the 11a ?
One more thing, does the upper left rosettes have a crack or gash going through ?
Please Advise

Hi Lalo - I ran this thru Plate AI. Looks like a good match for an 11A - pos. 65R3.
Curious to hear what others think.

Lalo.Man,

I will give my thoughts and I am sure others will chime in as well.

The color is in line with and 11a vs a 10a. (dullish color but as you know color on a PC photo is never definite). It does not look like a 10a based on color alone.
The stamp looks to have 2 lines recut in upper left triangle.
The upper left diamond block does not appear to be recut.
I see no recuts in lower left diamond block
The stamp appears to have "double guide dots" below the lower right diamond block
The stamp looks to have a crease or paper damage running thru the upper left rosette ending in what may be a slight tear at the top of the stamp.
Additionally, this stamp appears to have a vertical line recut in the lower right triangle

If you have not used the following link for studying this particular stamp, it is highly recommended and provides a great deal of information to assist in examining and plating this specific stamp. You can spend hours on this link.
