Is this a pair of Scott 11a? Looks like they both have the right upper recut triangle. Color? Plate positions please. I had a apex cert. saying these were scott 11 from yr 2000. Pos 91-92R2L 1883-84 usage. Maybe there wasn't a 11a listing then?

11A is the correct Scott #. I believe 91-92R2L is correct. 1883-84? more likely 1853-54 and I don't think there are re-cut lines in the upper right triangles.
Better pictures would help.

Others here would know when Scott added the 'A' designation to #10s and 11s that have one or both inner frame lines re-cut.

My guess is 2007

I believe it was 2008, stampcrow, but in any event it was after 2006, when I sold my general US collection. There were no 10A's or 11A's at that time.

Yes, they are 11A. The new numbering was introduced in the 2008 catalog published in 2007.
(The renumbering was OK with me, but they should have made the type numbers I, Ia, II, IIa to preserve some compatibility with old texts. Types 1, 2, 3, 4 were proposed decades ago but didn't catch on with the specialists I've read.)

The variety "one line recut in the upper right triangle' is reserved for those positions where the recut is not an upward continuation of the right inner line recut: there has to be a gap.

I'd put these in the "dull red" category, but I'm no good with color.

91-92R2L looks right.
