Can I Ask For Some Help Here. I Think It's A USA 1851 Franklin, But Which One.

Hi guys and girls.
I am currently clearing an accumulation for Durrell Wildlife Zoo here in Jersey. Channel Islands.
Came across this one and having read the suggested links which have been posted I'm no closer to identifying which one this is.
This will be sold as Durrell are in the business of raising money not collecting and it's outside of my area (which is GB QV).
Hopefully images will load. Looks like in reverse, sorry.
Many thanks in advance.

Hello, PAPAJ. It is US Scott #9.

Hi Dudley. Many thanks for your quick reply. Much appreciated.
I will list on ebay.uk soon. Any guidance for an appropriate stating price given it's condition.
Cheers Peter.

Are these identified correctly (mostly by sellers)?

They are in columns of scott# 18,19,20,21,22,23,24,24va (excluding 19b) with bottom row "unidentified - likely 24 or 24va)

(right click on image and open in new tab for best viewing/zooming)

Not sure how they identified the "21" Without plating (maybe they did?). Bottom 23 is also questionable.

Used the same original scan broken into scott #'s - wanted to see if same scan produced better images when cropped before image optimizer reduced them:

18:


19:


20:


21:


22:


23:


24:


24Va:


Need ID - supposedly all 24, but I think maybe not:


Looks like image optimizer does much better if optimizing a smaller part of the original scan....

Scott 19 stamp unfortunately is not properly identified. Needs to be plate 4, and yours is from plate 11 or 12 (probably damaged 18)

Scott 21 is probably not but May never know due to inability to plate as margins cut off

At least one of Scott 22 is a 24

Thank You.

jamesg: I haven't yet looked at all the images, but the ones labeled #24, including the set of three, are correctly identified. #23 is also correct. The bottom stamp labeled #22 is actually #24, as rgstamp says. The top stamp labeled #22 is #20, position 75R12.
