I'm new to plating, so I still have much to learn. However, I noticed in both the Carroll Chase scans from the Smithsonian and the scans at the Stamp Smarter website, that 7R1e has a small mark between the upper right diamond block and the label block.
I then found this stamp in my collection with what looked like the same mark. Is this unique to 7R1e? Below is a scan of my stamp and a close up of the mark in question. It's a little faded. Also, the black and white is from Carroll Chase's scan.
