I have two stamps that I would like some help on identification.
Both Imperial Crown so Scott 151/152 and 153/154
The top stamp has 3 line and lower stamp has 4 lines so upper Scott so Scott 153 and lower is Scott 151. The beards are also obviously different.
The next is to determine Type 1 die vs Type 2 die. It looks like the upper most scale appears to be complete so Type 1 Scott 151 (not 151d). However, there is larger detail that is not complete.
For the 1p, the beard appears dense so both are 152.
The difference between Type 1 and Type 2 is lines across ribbon next crown. The question is one or both an example of "two complete lines". They look different. The one on left has one line slightly less complete and I see differences between printings like next to crown.
