"Spending my children's inheritance one stamp at a time" rwillis29 re: Need help with reading the date. Can't be a #525 If it's 1912. It is light green like #512. Is there other stamps like the #512 color? Thank you for the reply's.

I actually have the new EDU here but I havn't sent it in yet for a cert,the left stamp is not it,it's the second one,I'm deciding whether or not to try to get the corner paper(it was glued on all 4 corners into a album) that's stuck on it off,I don't want to damage it.
Here is a better picture,I'm sure the postcard rate was 2 cents at this time of mailing because of WW1 then was put back down to 1 Cent after the war ended,also here is a picture of my Scott 503 EDU(not sent in for cert yet either).
