In the Scott catalog, after the pictures and values are listed, always read on to the end, where sometimes it will say see number so and so for other versions of similar design. Like this Chinese stamp, on the early stamps the pearls at the top are shaded with fine lines. Then there are other differences in the Peking and London printings. Chinese stamps are really fun with secret marks to check. It really makes it interesting to get the right identification.
