Hello all Stamp Masters,

I got this Franklin 1c piece that Im not sure whether it is the 1875 Reprint or original.

Can you tell which Scott number and Type it is?

Thanks!

Would you say the right side was cut?
I was thinking the margin there is still a little thick. Could it be the edge of the sheet?

Type V, that being said it has a shot at a Type VA but would need to be plated.

Yes, very sloppy by a pair of scissors
