Notice that there is a difference in the inking on the King's
forehead and cheek. The forehead shows medium blank area at Die
I, to a narrow portion at Die II, and widens at Die III. The
cheek shows a crack in a few lines at Die I, with almost no crack
at Die II, and a triangular spot at Die III.
Please be aware that every stamp is different, and variation
will be found due to inking and other conditions that arose as
the stamps were printed. Do not expect all stamps to easily fit
into one of these states.
