Modern U.S. Stamps -
If you have a stamp post-1970 that you are having difficulty
identifying, might we suggest trying Jim
Griffith's Stamp Album. Jim has excellent coverage of modern
U.S. and you can probably identify your stamp.
U.S. Revenue Stamps - If you have
a revenue, documentary or tax stamp you need to identify, you might
want to try Eric
Jackson's Revenue site.

from Steven Ruecker

Finally, a web site that
attempts to plate the 3¢ stamp of 1851. This information is
vital if one wishes to sort those 10's and 11's. We
congratulate Steven on his effort. - Note that there are many different
plates of this stamp including early and late plates.
The site is a work in progress, but still enormously helpful.
