With the top outer frame cut off it would probably need to be plated to be 100% certain.

Other than top row stamps from plate 1L, no stamps are recut only at bottom. By logic, the stamp below doesn't appear to be recut at top and it's obviously not top row, thus your specimen likely Scott 7. Color seems consistent with plate 1E as well?

Have an unused 7, here, similar situation, top cut off,
but identified by a plater as 86R2... if anyone is interested
in it email me a fair offer.

Don, please don't delete and place it in sales, nobody will ever
search for a 7 there... thanks.

The stamp in the OP is actually a Type IV, Scott #9.

Disi123, your stamp is position 86R2. I am not sure that I would call this stamp unused though. It looks like a lightened cancel, part is shown 2/3 of the way up on the left side and above the C and E of CENT. Does it have original gum or no gum?
