Hi guys...Again looking through the binder of 100's of old stamps I bought for $3:00...Does this look like a Scott #218i (mole on forehead) to you..??

Hi Robert,

That scan is a little distorted but it looks like a #218i to me. You can see an example for yourself on my site at: http://flyspecker.com/218.html

P.S. I am still waiting on the high resolution scan you promised of the 1/2C tercentenary stamp with the re-entry.

Cheers!

Scott.

With the perf it's better now. If I compare to the one I have, yes it's a 218i, you really have to work on your scan, the color is way off ( the blue ) and the image is distorted, look on the scan of one of mine, the head is more taller than wider

for 1 moment I tough you have a postcard with printed stamps on it, but they don't have that much details
