So there's 5 different dies used for the U-1 through 10; I've found the below cut square that if it's used, the cancel is not noticeable. Anyway, it's on buff paper, curved edges (at the three) but I have no idea which die it is. I did some research and believe it may be a U6 but would like to know if anyone can give a better idea?

Thanks again,

Dave

I think it is a U5 14 1/2 mm wide at the top 10 varieties boath (T's) have a longer cross stroke. R is smaller The U6 is a six cent stamp

It's a "U5" image ID. It's a catalog #U10.

Yes, definitely a U10. It either has a smudge of dirt or a cleaned cancel. Hard to tell from the picture.
