With the bottom of the stamp compromised, I find it challenging to identify this stamp. Any help is very much appreciated.

You can tell from the incomplete top left ornament that it is not Type I, hence not #18. The stamp above it IS a Type I, as can be seen from the complete plumes. Your stamp is from Plate 12, and is a Relief B example. It is Type II, Scott #20.

Riley111,

Looks like you mixed your photos after the fact with ones from another thread on the 70/78 variance.

You probably used the same name for the 2 photos. The system will override previous photos if this happens. I think.
