New Photos For Possible SC 596

1924 June 5 Oroville, Ca. Franklin 1 cent stamp perf.11 all around. Can I get some feedback for possible SC596. What do you think?

One feedback: Please do not keep opening new posts for the same question. That is very confusing.
Secondly, it is probably Scott 552 going by the color.

Not a 596, a 596 is 19'¼ wide, what say your ruler ????????

peter, two months into this going off of measurments from identification guide in computer. didnt say anything about color. notice it has a leen too the right like the rest of them on the census.

area 66 19.25 is a qurter of mm .5 is half look again at measurment what say your ruler?????????

Measuring these by ruler is not an accurate endeavor. Best to use a template. Plus the color is a give away as has been stated. Also, there are many "do I have a scott 596" threads on the forum. Do a search and you will find much more in depth discussions of this issue, how to create templates and the color etc.

It's a #552. Your pictures/ruler are off. When 1/4 of a mm is significant, it isn't something you can 'wing' with a cellphone...

I'd urge you to send your cover to the PF. You could never claim to have a 596 without a proper cert from the PF or another expertizing service. It will cost you - not sure how much - prob at least $25-$50? - for you to find out you have a $.20 stamp.

We can count the number of certified examples of 596 on one hand. To claim you have one will require substantial evidence...

Always assume you have the least valuable/most common of any stamp - unless there is overwhelming evidence to the contrary...
