Detailed Analysis of Scott #606

Description of the Design
The stamp features a portrait of George Washington, facing left, with the denomination "2 CENTS" below his profile. The design is framed by an ornate border and laurel wreath.

Centering (Grade)
The stamp is quite off center on one or two sides with the edge of the design approaching the perforations. While close, the frameline does not touch the perfs. Some white space is visible, though it may be very narrow.
Centering Grade: Fine

Soundness (Grade)
There are no significant faults or damage to the stamp. The back shows no discoloration.
Soundness Grade: Faultless

Perforations
The perforations are intact and complete. The edge of the frameline just touches the perfs on one side without cutting into the design.

Eye Appeal (Grade)
The overall appearance of the stamp is typical with no additional positive or negative factors affecting the grade.
Eye Appeal Grade: Neat/Clean (No Effect)

Final Numerical Grade
Based on the centering (Fine) and soundness (Faultless), the combined grade according to the guidelines is:
Fine Centering + Faultless Soundness = Fine (70-74)
