If it is an 1894 issue, it might be "watermark R correct designation" (since it comes in every conceivable variation), although why anyone would bother writing it is beyond me. |

OK, well I guess I can rule out the world famous philatelist Waterford Randolph Clifford Danforth.
Some "interesting" suggestions. Thanks. The front is pretty, but irrelevant to my question. It's from the 1902 definitive series.
Thanks all for giving it a shot. |

 It certainly could be relevant, I don't see anyone jotting down letters on a random postage stamp back. Otherwise it is just useless information. |

My first impression was a cost-code from a previous buyer. Four figures is steep for a series 1902 even if the "W' was a placeholder zero. Edit: Interesting there is even more writing on the back than the 4 Cap letters. |

Also because of the prevalence of zero in many prices, some price codes have an added eleventh letter to serve as a second zero. As I stated, it was my first impression. Do you have any better explanation? |

Thanks all for giving it a shot. Without seeing the front, this is a silly and frustrating thread. |

It's a 1c Franklin, with design touching perfs on right when viewed from the front. |

Since the OP is not going to post the front... Still no image, no ebay number? Nice fingerprint on back? |
