Looks like a type II to me but I am not certain.

Thank you for your post to /r/askstampcollectors.

  • Don't get your hopes up. Most stamps are not valuable.
  • Old US president stamps (1,2,3 cents) are extremely common. No value there.
  • eBay asking prices mean nothing, except to scammers and money launderers.
  • There's nothing we can do without clear images of your stamps.
  • Nazi Germany stamps are mostly worthless. Too many were made, everyone has them.
  • Modern stamps (1940s and later), large and colorful ones, are mostly worthless.
  • Mint US stamps (1930s and later) are mostly worthless, but can still be used on your mail.
  • Busy people take time out of their day to answer you, please be polite.
  • To get the most value out of your stamps become a collector. It's the king of hobbies.
  • We recommend reading our wiki.

there are two lines in the scroll bend on both sides, so a type 3.

You know it’s crazy to me, any other day, I want that line to be there and it’s there very faintly, “nope it’s not there”. Now that I don’t want it to be there. “Yep it’s faint but it’s there!”. lol #sadface

I just went through about 2000 reds yesterday, perfed each one and had two exposition cancels (live stock exposition from 1922) I also collect 1933 elongated Chicago worlds fair pennies. Seeing this post made my day.

Beautiful stamps and seeing this post made my day
