Can someone help me identify which in the billions of 2c George Washington stamps this is please? I cannot see the back because it is affixed to a postcard booklet. Thank you in advance!
Thanks for your comment. Unfortunately I don't have a perforations gauge and don't know how to determine myself as I am not experienced at stamp collecting. Perhaps I need to take it to a stamp shop.
Since the stamp is on the booklet, you can easily cut the paper perf gauge so that you can then line it up next to the stamp, find the one that best matches the stamp perforations. It should be either 11 or 10 1/2; the tops/bottom might be different then the sides of the stamp.
Here is the stamp next to the gauge and all 4 sides match up with the 10 perf line, assuming I did it correctly. Using the other chart, I assume this means it is a 583 because it is 10x10? Would one of you mind confirming? Thank you again for your help.
Thanks a lot. That was very interesting to see how the perforation gauge works and I appreciate your help. I thought it was just about counting the notches and didn't realize it is actually about the spacing. I don't think this stamp is valuable based on Google but the exercise of identifying if was fun.
