I thought the same thing when I picked it up. It's really a fine example of the stamp altho' I never took the time to acquire the publications that would provide an adequate comparison of the types. I couldn't do it today anyway. Thanks for commenting. Good luck.

You know that might be a 529 Type 3, because of the lock of hair in front of the ear and the faint line on the top of the toga rope. What you think??

The only problem with that is that the 529 is perforated and this is imperf. But still, it could be a number other than my choices. Like I have indicated I no longer (yes I did at one time) have the books necessary to accurately define these stamps. Now I just rely on a rule of thumb and tend to assume that in all cases the stamp is of a lower value. That way I can't misrepresent unfairly any stamp. Thanks.

I know what you mean. With flat plate and rotary press, double, single snf no watermark, perf variations and then to top it off Types 1, 2, 3 etc. If you have a mint stamp its all a doable proposition. Still not easy but at least within the realm of a reasonable possibility. But used stamps? The cancels and watermarks and types all get obliterated.Thanks for the comment.
