I do not see where there is a type A21, small numerals, for a 30¢ value in Scott. It measures 11 1/2 X 12 perfs and is white paper which places it as 1901-1903 plus the cancel is 1903. All of the rest of the stamps that I have in that A20-A21 series with large numerals extend into the oval and have more shading in the triangles bottom left and right. I am certainly missing something but don't know what.
Thanks for the assistance.

Maybe your other stamps are later printings.

Thanks for the followup and picture. Must have something to do with the font size for the 3s and 0s. I noticed that your 3¢ above your picture doesn't touch the oval either.
Thanks again.

The numeral size only applies to the 25 and 40 centimes.
