Identifying 3 Cent Washington

Hello everyone. Im hoping to get your thoughts on identifying this 3 cent Washington. Its difficult for me being such a newbee. Thank you to all those who have taken the time to help.

Ive taken 2 pics one regular one high contrast in hopes you can see the detail better.

Hopefully this will help. I'd soak the paper off the back of the stamp.

Don, for some reason I struggle finding things on stamp smarter. I did go there first for a link and even launched the 1847 link but couldn't find page you posted which is exactly the one I was looking for.

Hi stallzer,
Understood, it is a large site with thousands of pages. If a user spent 1 minute per page it would take them 24+ hours to view it all. And out of respect for the work he poured into it, I retained most of Bob Allen's original 1847usa website organization. His vision was that folks were 'visual' so he expected folks to start with the visual identifier page
http://www.stampsmarter.com/1847usa...nkNotes.html and then would drill down into more detailed pages.

I have also indexed all the webpages for easy searching http://stampsmarter.com/Search/Home_Search.html

Thanks Don. I just need to spend more time in the site getting familiar with the different areas.

There are also color varieties that I believe haven't been catalogued.
