The article cited by Peter deals with the rotary press rarities of the Washington-Franklin issue. General identification of your stamp can be approached with this tool:

I would use a "real" catalogue like Scott, as in the internet catalogues like stampworld not all the varieties are listed. US Phila is just a list of sold rare stamps, I think, so not the best choice to identify a stamp.

Your stamp is 498 as cfrphoto wrote, so without any a b c.
