"Here is a scan of some early US that I have.

I am interested in getting a ID for the Washington
2 cent stamps. Maybe you know of someone
who would be interested in looking at the scan
and narrow down the Scott ID numbers.
Some of the Washington 2 cent have alot
of value according to the Scott price guide.
I've a good collection of these and would like
to know if I have any that are rare, so that
I can get them certified for a possible at Auction."

These are all post 1922 issues. There are several varieties of
perforation that would be needed to identify. You appear to have sheet
stamps, stamps from booklets, and coil stamps. The perforations a
11, 11x10, 10, and 11x10.5 for sheet stamps. Also issued imperforate.
Coil stamps came perforated 10 vertically or perforated 10
horizontally. The stamps were printed on flat plate and rotary plate
presses. These are all unwatermarked.

Yes, the watermarks also play a part in the ID process,
What I needed was for someone or more to help determine
the perfs and size. And I could compare with what I come up
with. Sort of a experiment, just going by the scan.

I'm sure, some of the stamps could be one of several varieties.
But I would think a few could be narrowed down to be a possible
ID number or numbers.
There are at least 10 different ID numbers for these stamps.
Also some were coil, some rotary, and some flat press, and the
rare sheet stamps made from coil waste.

If anyone wants to take a better look, I
can e-mail a .TIF Scan where one can really get a close look
at them. Just drop me a e-mail if interested. And we can discuss
in private.


Thanks,

Darn that's good!!
There is no glue on most of them!

I'll send you a e-mail if you don't mind.

Hi,

Go to this link: http://www.1847usa.com/

It has an excellent identifier for Washington-Franklin stamps. As
said previously you are going to need the watermark.
