Admirals 2c Die 1 Vs Die 2

I'm starting my brave foray into the Admirals, and for once, I think I may have stumbled upon something interesting: a used copy of the Provisional Surcharge #139c...in Used condition.

Am I correct or is this just another case of ..?

Only the Mint copies are valued in Unitrade, but seeing as mint and used hold the same values for this issue...it's logical to assume the CV is $1,000...perhaps more if it's a rarity in used condition..nice cancel too..

Any words of advice from Admirals experts out there?

.....lambda.corp to the form...Your stamp on the LEFT is hiding a key indicator for DIE 1 or DIE2...The circle is interferring with it..I removed your cancel to get a better look at it but can you zoom in on this area without your circle..

Thanks for the Welcome. Long time stalker...

That was the precise page I used. There's both the KNOB on the top right leaf stem w/ diagnoal dashes PLUS the "bottom line touches this heavy diagonal line."

I had to crop out the Die I comparators to give a clearer pic, but I'm pretty sure I've got these right--do you not think so?

Ok...here's an even higher-res scan.
