Can someone tell me if these are the S#18 and S#19? The others on the online catalog look almost neon so I don't think they are one of those. Just need some help determining which these are so I can inventory them! Thank All!   |

Also one was in the binder and the previous owner had the number 9 beside it. Is this a scott #9 or #8 or #8a? I read what to look for to determine which is which but I am just not seeing it =(  |

To me, the top one in your first post looks like either a Scott #24 (type V) or a 24 b (type V Laid Paper). Would be better if you could somehow scan these. That is our main MO of visual communication here. In this stamp the teeny differences in the design are what make the difference.

I can't give a positive opinion on the other two. Sorry.

the 3rd one appears to have been trimmed into the design. |

Your imperf is a type IV, Scott #9 recut once on bottom (As far as I can tell from the scan). Your perforated Stamps aren't that straight forward. If you can get a better scan with more detail we can nail down the catalog numbers for you. Something about this size is perfect for identification purposes.  |

Exactly. You need to scan at 300 or more dpi against a black background. |

If you have any plans of selling this collection yourself (ie ebay), your first step should be purchasing a scanner. You can get a very good one for under $100 and it will pay for itself in the quality difference alone that potential buyers will be able to see compared to photographs |

Definitely going to need a flatbed scanner to assist in proper identification. Photographs just don't show the detail needed to do so. |

Your first stamp isn't an #18 or a #19. It is a #20, #21, or a #22 from Plate 4. Your second stamp is a #24. Your third stamp is a #7 or a #9. High resolution images of these stamps are required to correctly identify these stamps. |
