The Scott Specialized catalog distinguishes the "Special Printing" J8-11 issues from the regular J1-7 by their "soft porous" paper and by, ugh, their shades of brown. How do expertizers handle these two 1879 groups? In another SOR BOB thread is a discussion of lines in a triangle, which I couldn't quite follow.

Looks like a great find. The color looks red brown in this picture as opposed to brown or deep brown. This would make these the 1884 printing, J-15, J-16, J-18 and J-19. Still, the group of 4 is worth 100.00.

Thank you, Joesm.
A family emergency kept me from replying sooner,
My red-green color deficiency does not lend itself to this group of early postage dues! Too bad the three-center wasn't in the group.

Well, at least I got to have a haircut in the Penny Lane barber shop.

Despite my skepticism, I took a chance on these Postage Dues, labeled as J8-11, in a non-eBay auction of mainly jewelry and WWII memorabilia. No expertizing documents on these, of course. (There was a certificate for an 1851 1-cent Franklin in the lot.)
