I believe the first stamp is third reprint, the second stamp is the original issue, and the third stamp is the first reissue. If I am wrong, please let me know.

Can you expand please Smauggie?
I'd like to know how you ID the printings.
These are new to me.

Okay, here is how I best understand it. The first stamp is in the color black. The fourth reprinting shows the lower right corner as pretty much a solid block of color, so it must be 3rd which has 21 very thin lines. The original printing had 23 white lines and dots in the right lower corner (spandrel). The second stamp matches this description. The third stamp matches the description of the first reprinting featuring only 17 lines in the right lower spandrel. Stamp number two I believe to be Scott X1 because the tilde (or the line above the ñ) is not readily visible. Stamps number one and three is Scott X1a because the tilde is notably visible. The original printing of X1A had a break in the tilde, whereas reprints show a smooth tilde. Any advice or correction is welcome. Scott does not list a catalog value for reprints though I suspect they are substantially lower than the originals.

Unlikely, given that Scott does not give values for them.

They are listed in the back of the book as locals.
