1c 1851 Plate 1-Late Stamps

71R?

Yes, 71R1L.

78L1L?

These "A" reliefs are tough to plate. It is a bit obscured by the cancel, but I believe this is a split top line on the left.

The top line is split, but in position 78L1L it extends all the way to the S of U.S. Look for a position with a split top line that ends above the period after the S.

A little over 5 years ago I was able to obtain a nice folded letter that I posted here.

I was going through the Westpex offerings and found another piece of the correspondence so I had to have it



The strip I believe is 68 - 69 -70L



And a 3c Type I Scott 11?



And the back stamps




This was mailed 1 week prior than the one I obtained a few years back.

Does anyone know if there is a census of these Garnier letters?

Looking for some help or confirmation. This is one of the more beat-up Type IVs in my collection, but still want to plate it. I have initial plated this as 11R1L, but I also thought 31, 39 and 55R were also possible candidate.

Looking forward to Boston, only a couple week to go.

Also, wanted to share the progress on my project to complete a full Plate 1 Late. Still have a long way to go, but I enjoy the hunt.

I have 8 Type IVs I have been unable to plate. Not surprisingly, they are all Relief A.

70R w/ imprint

@stallzer - very nice.

Imprints were so far away from the design, so getting one on these early plates is tough.
