I was thinking about this for a while and thanks for all the help on this web site I have come to to conclusion that my stamp is a 112b.
And the reasoning is the following.
Here are the following reason's.
CCRAIGK told me 9 out of ten copy's were used with original gum and 0
were found "used " a big red flag.
Also RETT told me there have been many attempts in the past at pressing out a grill in order to simulate 112b without success .
So this is what I think is going on if my stamp said to be a 112 was covered with gum, you
could not see the grill or the groove's if it was covered with the gum.
If you take off the gum you review the under lying flaw's because with my stamp it has a grill you can not see with your own eye's so really hard to see.
That is the simplest answer to why there are "no 112b" used stamps .You would think you would have at least one "112b used" or a lot more since used stamps were most likely used more and they were printed more of them who holds all their new stamps.
And here is the reason ccraigk was helpful If this stamp was pressed like the experts said you would see more grills all I see is
4or 5 and grills and only one I could really recognize you should have seen more grills if ccraigk is right you cant press out
grills.
The color was enhanced on the first stamp to see better the third one was with the black light
That's what I think now prove me wrong one of the 10 stamps my be the place to start it may have a clue. I don't think you will find a used 112b if you do let me know I don't think so they have been looking for a long time!
If you want to see the whole story check out The thread "I was wondering about this Franklin 112" posted I few days ago.
Here are some picture's take a look let me know.
Thanks Dan

The revelation is the 10 stamps that are 112b are most likely all just a broken grill machine that covered up the very lite embossed marks and if you have a 112 with out the gum you and with the light or broken grill machine you would have the same stamp if you had gum on it you could not detect the grill.
That's all I'm saying if that makes any sense.
You can see my other post if you would like to see what Im saying about this stamp
The post is called I was wondering about this Franklin 112 stamp

This is what I wrote.

It's such a rare stamp. I think only 9 or 10 copies exist. None used. The variety is classified as "Without grill and with original gum".



You do not have a 112B. Done. Over.

Multiple folks with decades of experience, across two threads, each have said it is not a 112b.

It won't matter how many say so. Clearly we are all only interested in keeping him poor. Or we are all only jealous, since we did not find it. Or everything we have ever learned is wrong and only he knows the answer. Or something else.

The cert. states the stamp is a US Sc 112 used. The catalogue states with a G Grill. So the examiners found a faint/pressed out grill. A US Sc 112 used.
