Great Sites for Identifying Washington Franklin Stamp Types

Scott list 9 types for the 2 cent Washington stamps. There are another 4 types for the 3 cent Washington issue. When you get to identifying these stamps, you're going to have to have a good reference to these types.  The Scott catalog does a decent job of explaining the difference between the types, but it helps to have other examples of what they are talking about.

Rather than recreate what other people have done so well, let me point you to some websites I use:
