I had a stamps expertized and the report came back with plating information that I could not read as to where on the page it came from and how many known stamps there were known? Can someone read this and let me know what it all means? Scott # 11A, position 29L1L, color slightly sulphurized, used on cover with Philadelphia, PA cancel, genuine in all respects.

Thank you
from

Your stamp comes from the ninth position counting from the left in the third horizontal row from the top of the left pane of Plate 1 in it's late state. Plate 1L stamps are common, there many thousands of them available to collectors.

Plate 1 existed in three states, early, intermediate, and late.

Position 29L1L is a minor (common enough) variety that is recut once at the upper left triangle.

It is an 11A rather than an 11, because it also has recut inner lines.
