Hi stamperix. Stamp smarter is my go to source
For the Washington's like this. I did use this before I posted the question. Just wondering I am on the right track

Apparently all 491's are printed on a slightly yellowish paper. A stamp expert told me this.
What are your thoughts?

Thank you.

Nano - Identify the type. How many lines in the scroll ends? Does the upper right berry have a V shape?

Hint: This is not a 491.
