The Scott# 4 is a 1875 reproduction of the Scott# 2 postage stamp. To tell the difference between both stamps you must look into the eyes. You will see that the reproduction stamp eyes have a droopy, sleepy look that you will not find in the original 1847 stamp. Although there are a few more differences that you can look for, most stamp collectors can tell the difference by the eyes. This reproduction was never a valid postage stamp but it is included in the U.S. Philately by the Scott number system .

If you noticed, Scott# 3 is somewhat identical to Scott# 1. This 1875 issued stamp is a reprint of Scott# 1. The easiest way to tell the difference between both stamps is to look at the point where the top of the frill of the white shirt meets the oval frame. On the original stamp it meets the oval between the "F" and "I" of "FIVE", and on the reproduction at the top of the "F". This reproduction was never a valid postage stamp.
