I had arranged with the APS That I was aloud to remove stamp from cover to reveal the watermark direction before I sent it to them. Ken from APS said it would still count as being on cover. A 279 watermark direction in this direction ^ or top to bottom (Horizontal) of stamp. A 279A watermark is in this direction<> side to side( Vertical) What happened was the sheets of paper were placed in the wrong direction, The results were Scott 279A.This is the certificate I got back from the APS. They had to send another cert the first one had the covers wrong date on it even experts make mistakes some times
