HI guys...I am not too familiar with paper types..Can you look at this Scott Large Queen #27 and tell me what type of paper it really is...Thanks. Robert
Wert, To me this looks like Duckworth's paper 10. "This is the stout wove paper...which was introduced for the 3 cent value in late 1868, was used for the new shade of the 1 cent value in early 1869 and subsequently used for the other denominations as stocks of other papers became depleted. It is much the most common paper, accounting, for example, for virtually all the 1 cent orange-yellow value and more than half of the 6 cent value." I would suggest getting some good reference books where you can get well acquainted with this issue and its papers. Duckworth lists ten papers on the Large Queen and they are well pictured in the book.
Concur with "watermark", yes Paper 10, wove paper with pebbly textured surface from papermaking roller etc. But one should look at cancel too... a not-too-common 2 ring 28. Not a great strike but readable.
