I have an imperforate stamp, which has a listing of both "Die I" and "die II". Having no scott catalog available to me, I would like to know how to tell the difference. Also posting pictures, front and back for further clarification.

You have a Die II.
You may have an older catalog. I know that at least in 2015, Scott added pictures with close ups of the two dies.
Die I: The color of the crown at the top center is light and matches the color of the sky below.
Die II: The color of the crown at the top center is heavy and darker than the color of the sky below.

Thank you, Michael. It seems that you always come up with the proper information! Very helpful for those of us who don't have up-to-date Scott (I only have a US specialized) World Wide catalogs.

I looked at my 2015 Scott Classic for the answer to your question. It's a great bargain if you can find an older one, because it'll give you the first 100 (plus the end of the reign of George VI for British area) years of stamps. Alot of questions come from the older stamps. The Scott Classic puts all those stamps into one volume, plus it's hard cover and designed to last many years.
