I couldn't make out the watermark. Can you watermark it?
The quickest way otherwise to narrow the choice is measure the perforation.
Perf 12 -1884 Scott 20 1p rose red wmk 2 Crown and C A ($60+)
Perf 12 1/2 1872 Scott 5 1p lake wmk 1 Crown and C C ($170+)
Perf 14 1873-79 Scott 8 1p lake wmk 1 Crown and C C ($200)
Perf 14 1884 Scott 18 1p carmine wmk 2 Crown and C A ($2+)
Looks like a Perf 14 to me.

Suspect (Because tonymacg saw a Crown and C A) Scott 18.

(Edit: But if the wmk is inverted, then worth more)
