Seeing watermarks has become my single most frustrating aspect to collecting early US stamps. I bought this stamp on ebay advertised as a 382- single line watermark. But it looks to me like a double line watermark which would make it a 340. Can anyone confirm?

It looks like a double-lined watermark to me. You may want to post the front so we can see if a cancellation may be soaking through to give us the same effect.

Thanks for the input. I'll post a picture of the front a little later when I have a chance, but it should not have an impact since this is an unused stamp.
