How can one tell the difference between R135 and R152 if R152 is not of silk paper?

Thanks rvcollector...Let me clear this up; I got the wrong R # on the original post

It should read: between R135 & R151. I have seen the same design (R12) listed on ebay as both numbers.

My Scott's Specialized 2021 doesn't show a PIC of either of the stamps in question, however a pic of the ONE cent(R12) is there.

Anyhoo here is a pic of the stamp that I am trying to catalog:

The difference is the paper color, violet or green. The link posted above is a great resource.

Thanks Don, the pics on that sight help a lot. After re-reading everything, I finally figured out the difference: the colors!!
