US Scott Special Delivery E1 Vs E2

So there were marked as both being E2. But I think the top one is E1 and the second one E2 - yes??

E1



E2

The devil is in the details.
Neither is an E1, which has different text ".... at a Special Delivery Office" in a straight line.
E2 and beyond have different text ending in an arced last line.
Your first stamp is an E2.
Your second stamp has a line under "Ten Cents", so will be E4 or E5 dependng on the watermark.
.

"AT A" not "AT ANY"


Edit:

John Becker and I posted over each other. But I will add this illustration:




E-4 was printed from only Plate Number 77. E-5 was printed from several other plate numbers, here is an example of the Pl #882 which is the plate which produced the five dots in the curved lines above the messenger's right ear, our view is left, variety of E-5 (See Scott). Additionally as this example shows, E-5 was overprinted for use in our possessions, in this example, Guam. For those purposes the overprinted base E-5 has a different Scott number for each possession.

Ok. Thank you both. I don't know anything about these and was staring and staring and totally missed the wording! I'll double check watermark, but 1st go round didn't see any.

here is the back of the AT ANY of mine from above, with the line under " Ten Cents". Reads E5 on rear, but for the life of me , cant see a wmk. Double line USPS, right??

FWIW, I tried this and rosonol. Looks like my daughter's sonogram

There's a lot of gunk on the back of that stamp, hinges and other paper residue. If it were mine I'd give it a good clean bath, let it dry, and try again. Maybe you'll even see part of a watermark when it is in the water.

Or there's a chance that the ID in pencil is wrong. Misidentifications usually go in the other direction, or maybe you got lucky this time.

Thats was I was thinking - lower valuation - and thats how I had it listed... But I cleaned it up and still I see no wmk - ronsonol or by light.

thank you for helping!
