Looking I Think A Scott U S 375 Thanks

need help to id. the paper has lines in it like laid or ribbed

Your pic is horrible, you cannot mean 375 and it would help to show the front.

This issue only came on normal or "blued" paper. Hard to tell the shade from your picture so if not a Lake shade then probably a scott 332 (assuming it is perf 12). Please post better pictures.

Please post a clear image of the back. If it is ribbed paper, then it can't be bluish paper. Rather, it might be a transfer from whatever paper it was on since there is still some gum on it. It needs a soak in cold water.

What am I missing here? The paper type does not matter for this one unless you think you have a blue paper (which is not what the OP asked about). It's a 375 if it has a single line watermark. It is a 332 or 358 if it has a DL watermark, and if it is on "blue paper" it is a 358. Check the watermark and you may have your answer. I don't think it is blue paper, but if you have a DL watermark, then get a good scan on an orange background and you'll get a consensus here as to whether you have a blue paper. As for value, if it is a blue paper, the catalog value is $120 for a VF used stamp. Yours is not VF - it has a straight edge and maybe some funky perfs. F-VF at best. If it is a 375 or 332, it catalogs for about $15 either way. Still a neat stamp.
