Does anyone have a copy of either position 10L0 or 10L2E?

This stamp below is definitely a 'C' relief imperf Type II variety and is a right border stamp, but is not top row (see pic below showing color from the border of a stamp above mine. From reading Chase I understand 'C' reliefs pop up in a few places other than top row but per the Stamp Smarter Database (listed by relief) only the two above mentioned positions are Type II right side 'C' relief (though not pictured in the database). Granted those 2 positions are top row but it might help????

You don't think its 60L5L ?
I can't quite tell if you have enough sheet margin to where you'd have a centerline visible on 5L or not. Some quick measuring should answer that and eliminate this or include it.

I think txstamp nailed it. I checked the curves in the side frame lines, and they are a match for 60L5L. A misplaced C-relief.

The right inner line recut doesn't go anywhere near high enough on 10R5L for it to be that.

Concurring with txstamp's comment on 10R5L not being a match, here is a vertically compressed image comparing the curvature of the right frame lines for 10R5L (left) with the right side of Caper123's stamp (right). The right outer frame line of Caper123's stamp bulges out slightly adjacent to the upper right rosette.

Also, Caper123 mentioned that his stamp shows part of an adjoining stamp above his stamp.

Nailed it txstamp! Thanks for your confirmation too Classic Coins.

tgswanner - had not seen (or have forgotten about it) that site. Appreciate the help!

The 3c Initiative on Stamp Smarter, section on positions by relief need to add 60L5L to the 'C' relief database.
