I have about 1000 a little less or more of this series and this particular stamp design . as you can imagine the time and fun I have had learning all there is to kmow I can find out in positivley identifying and seperating by the scott catalog numbers all the variations . I am left with three that need to be seperated and properly set in there place the 552 ,594,and 596 I have roughly 100 of the perf 11 scott #552 variations and have four I am 95% sure they are of either the 594, or 596 coil sheet waste perf 11 . my question is besides the measurements of 19.25 x 22.50 which all of my remaining perf 11 share has anybody else have any other additional info. besides what has already been documented with the kans. pre cancels and the new york basin office without the pre cancel have that could positively tell them apart . ? thank you.

This question comes up very, very often. So often, as a matter of fact, that a community member wrote this article.

Additional information on how to ID rotary press printed stamps is also here

Between these two webpages, you should be able to learn how to ID US W/F printing varieties and how to make a template.

Please note that even if you had 10,000 of these stamps they printed billions of them. These stamps are as common as rocks. If you went into your backyard and grabbed 1000 rocks, what are the odds that one of them might be a diamond? This is why we recommend the best perspective is to always assume that you have the most common varieties. Collectors having sorted through millions and millions of these stamps over the decades and only a handful have been found.

As a last suggestion when folks are convinced that they have found a rarity, we typically tell them to go ahead and spend the money sending their stamp(s) in for a certification.

Great analogy!

I am sorry to say I wasted five minutes trying to understand the original question.

What help can be provided if asked in rambling, incomprehensible English?

It would get a grade of F in compostition!

Wow, I felt I was oozing brain cells trying to read the OP. If you know you are a "slow typer" perhaps it would be best to get right to the point.

Just my thoughts....

I think Don tried to put you on the right direction with his post, but why would someone make the effort to discourage you? Just saying.
