Notes:
1. If the stamp has Head Type I, it is an Original (Scott #1). 2. If the stamp has Head Type II and the Ridge is present, it is an Original (Scott #1A). 3. If the Ridge is not present or is questionable, use the ultra violet light chart. If, under ultra violet light, the frame is dark olive green and the paper is white, the stamp is an Original (Scott #1A). If the paper is a light tan, it is the 1st Berlin Reprint. 4. The green of the Originals is a bluish green, but without specimens for comparison, this fact may not be of much use. 5. Rouletting of Originals is not cleancut but appears ragged and fuzzy. |
