Need Assistance Identifying First Issue 1 Cent Franklin Stamps

Hi Everybody

Just Joined and have inherited a huge stamp collection from my father who was a wealthy lawyer.

I am willing to share my huge collection with everyone here but I am not to knowledgeable on philately so help would be greatly appreciated.

I would like help in determining the different type of 1 cent issues I have and if they are rare or not . A valuation would be great if possible .

Thank you for your time for looking at my post, I hope you all like looking at my stamps in future will post many more interesting stamps I am sure you will like to look at .

Each picture must have a unique name or it will upload the first image with that name over and over again. If you make a change, you must rename it or it will reload the old version.

The first stamp in the group is #40, 1875 reprint. The next 3 look like #7, plate 2, the last three look like #9, plate 1L. The images are small but that is what I see.

Thank you so much for your reply

I fixed up the listing I had a problem with the clipboard

I really appreciate your knowledge

In the bottom row, the stamps without triangles in the upper corners are Scott #219.

The ones with triangles are #263 (the second and third stamps) and either 247 or 264 (the other 2 - 264 has a watermark and 247 does not)

The perforated 1 cent Franklins (early ones) are most likely type V's. It would really help us if you could include individual high resolution scans of each stamp starting with the one with the red cancel.

It could be interesting to see the back of fourth stamp on the top row. The one with the New Orleans cancel.

I think the first stamp in the non-perforated group is a proof (40P?). The second perforated group are all Scott #24 (Type V, incomplete side ornaments). None of these stamps could be called rare or even scarce.

Mr Stampede,



The stamps in the top two rows are identified by sub-types depending on completeness of design, recutting of the top and bottom lines, double transfers, etc. The value of each stamp in the top two rows can vary greatly from US $40 to thousands depending on the sub-type. More details on these sub-types can be found here:

Additionally, for added interest, the stamps in the top two rows can be plated to specific positions on the printing plate, as is also discussed in the above link.

To add high-resolution images as suggested above, I would suggest using an image hosting service such as ImageShack.

We would rather not see people use 3rd party imaging hosting services (aka Photobucket debacle). If someone has a higher resolution image they should use the SCF optimizer. Folks can let me now if they have issues and I will help them.

Mr Stampede,
I can't add to the comments on value or rarity, but they are beautiful stamps!
