@stampcrow - PlateAI will usually return 10 stamps regardless of how good the scan is. Look at the scores to have an idea of the ML model's confidence. Phone/Ipad photos will work, but the results are much worse.

Hi Phade122 --

Your stamp on the cover with the red Morristown Pa APR 16 CDS is position 22L3 -- which makes it a Scott #11A.

Hi Phade -- You are probably correct about "Norristown". I checked Jim Forte's online Post Office lookup utility -- and there is no "Morristown" listed for PA -- but there is a "Norrristown" -- in Montgomery County -- established in 1798 and still around today. // Regards // ioagoa

is a 10a copper brown? I appreciate any and all help.
and always much appreciated.

Hi Phade122 --

Both of your stamps are Scott #11A.

The stamp with the N.YORK U.S. EXPRESS MAIL cds is position 90R3. The stamp is badly sulphuretted which significantly distorts its original color.

The stamp with the 7-bar circular grid cancel on the JACKSONVILLE, ILL cover is position 48L1L. I usually will not comment on colors in scanned images -- but on my monitor the color is no where even close to copperish orange brown which only comes from plate 2E.

Regards // ioaoga

Hi Phade122,

Nice Express Mail cover. Well struck cancel looks nice.

On my screen your stamp with the grid cancel appears more like a claret with some oxidation. Please do not take my comment as being true. Wait for an expert here to reply.

Edit:oops was replying while Ioagoa was. Sorry.
