re: need help with this one. #167 or 192 ???

It has the secret mark but does not look like soft porous paper to me. So, I would say Sn.156 (Continental).

See the image below. Note the fine threads on many of the perf ends. You see this on the soft American Banknote paper but not so much on the harder Continental paper.

Image Not Found

A backlit image that shows the kind of wove - coarse or fine would probably be definitive as to whether this is Sn.156 or Sn.182.

the secret mark is the slight shading in the ball just left of the ball on the numeral 1's nose
