I picked up a 7R1L as well.

Nice addition, I'm a little over half way to completion on my goal to completely plate 1L. Made some great additions when I was in Boston for the Expo.

Was hoping y'all might have some insight into AI resources for plating the 1c Franklins. I have had good luck with the Plate AI – StampPlating.com for the Washington 3c, and have had fairly consistent results. A few errors, but nothing that could not be validate with a quick review. I was hoping someone had developed something similar for the Franklin 1c. I recognize that there are great resources available, but an AI tool could certainly help me do some narrowing down.

I have an ambitious goal in mind. I am getting closer to completing the full Plate 1L (L/R), about 75% complete so far, with multiple duplicates. Anyway, my goal is to complete 2400DPI scan of all the stamps in my Plate 1L collection for the purpose of stitching all images into a complete digital recreation of the full 200 Stamp Plate. If there is anyone out there how is working on a similar project or interest in my project any guidance would be appreciated. I have several programs in mind to perform the hard compositing, such as Fuji, Adobe InDesign, or PTGUI, or Affinity Designer. The key is to obtain high quality 2400 DPI scans. If you have any interest in this project, I'd love to here from you. I am hoping a full composite image of the plate would help other who have additional excellent resources out there. My desire is not top replace this resource, but to simply provide an additional piece of reference

Attached is the current state of the plate, withe approximately 50 spots missing hi-res 2400 DPI images. This version is just a compressed .pdf, so the detail at close upon is still a little pixilated, by am open to sharing a far clearer version of this work in program, but if any If any one has 2400 DPI images they could share, I would be extremely gratefully, and willing to execute an agreement to limit their use to this specific project.

I realize this is a shot on the dark, but if your interest, I would like to here from you. If it works out, I was thing of development a presentation for the Next World Expo.

Cheers, Josh
