No notes from Marler, but the marks in the right margin should serve to provide an identification. Wide break in bottom of right numeral box.

While not discussed in his book, Marler's personal collection had additional CPVs, usually with multiple examples.
Leo's Notes
A long, nearly vertical scratch in the right margin. The scratch consists of a string of faint dashes opposite AGE in POSTAGE. After a gap, the scratch continues opposite leaf 4.
Two dots, one above the other, in the right margin opposite the top and bottom of the bottom frame. The small dot that is characteristic of design type J is just to the left of the bottom dot.
Thin horizontal line in the bottom margin below the right side of the T and left edge of the S in CENTS.
Small dot to the left of the midpoint of the LNB.
