re: Scott #4??

First, they look canceled, and can't be #4 if canceled. But, it looks like the #4 design. However, from your image it looks fake, almost like a scan. Not a good impression at all. The point of the reprint was for collectors, but not valid for postage. Perhaps you should post a better high resolution scan, but I think you have a fake.

Here's an example of what a #4 should look like, with crisp impression: http://www.theswedishtiger.com/ID1.html
