Whats Wrong With This Scan??

I have decided to open a new topic as the last one states NO SCAN NO answers. I sent a new scan but received no answers....so I thought I would get a fresh new start.

I,m sorry I wasted your time with the poor quality pictures I posted ..LESSON LEARNED !

Will you please have a look at the new scan I posted ...I used my new scanner!

Thank you
Belfast Girl

YES YOU DID....I replied.
I just dont think you liked the answer

Scan looks fine, can't say much for the stamp.

Ok, where to start ? 1st, scan your image at 1200dpi. 2nd, like mentioned in another thread, use a black background to bring out the perforations. 3rd, crop the dead space around the stamp and bring the edges in to the edges of the perfs.

look at your scan, look at the scan here and tell me which one has more detail ? You ask questions about the detail of a stamp but can't produce an image to compare the details...

You recieved two replies, in my reply, I mentioned why most folks prefer black or dark backgrounds. I'll say it again, that white back ground is like looking at something in front of a bright light. This Scott #145 is much easier to look at. An A 44 design.

OK, let's try this. I volunteer to have the Community assist me in identifying these stamps. I have done as requested, 1200 dpi on a black background. I admit that some of the features are hidden by cancels, etc., but I am confident that the knowledgeable people on this site can identify them and point out any anomalies. First, the whole group, then each, individually from the original scan, #1 to #5, left to right. (I deliberately re-sized the stamps to about 400 pixels using the Free Image Optimizer to make them more easily viewable on our screens.)













Now, I am NOT an expert on these, so please forgive me for assuming that they are all different. (Plus some need some serious soaking.) Thanks for your opinions.

Looks to be....
#145 (grill?? #134) - #145 - #156 - #206 - #206

Has anyone seen a stamp that has a right bottom scroll that looks like this.

How about the beads to the right of the center oval?

What about the area between the S in US and the P in Postage?

Also between the T and A in postage

I'm not sure what a double impression actually looks like.....I think it's when there is 2 different pics or two the same both on the same stamp

Is there a double impression on Franklin's hair it looks like faces

sorry I meant to say that I am referring to the first stamp left to right

This is what that stamp is in simple terms....
It is a DEFECTIVE #206.
I am finished with this thread.

What he said. It is a damaged stamp with virtually no value.

Kevin... good... now please jump
over to my new thread on 219DP
and see if you might be able to
help me out a bit...

I have given you detailed replies with lots of illustrations of my own in the previous thread. Please see that.
