1932 and 1941 5 cent violet caribou. Scott # 190/ 191 and 257. How do I tell the difference between Die I and Die II. All the catalogs I have consulted indicate that the left antler is higher in Die II but every catalog illustration I have seen (Scott, Unitrade, SG) show the left antler higher for both dies. I must be looking at something the wrong way...
