Some varieties can be hard to find!

For me the bottom right corner shows the diffference the best!
Scott is a very generic catalog but sometimes it makes it easy to ID stamps, the main difference on these two sets of stamps are the value itself, one has a solid color the other one is lined.


I have a Lighthouse Swiss hingeless stamp album that lists more varieties than my trusty Scott's catalog does and it is hard to find any info about stamps that are provided space for that do not show up even on the trusty Ebay. I typed in Switzerland "regular" issue of the first issue of the stamps, 98-100 , "denteles in lignes" to see the difference in the 101-103 "Dentles a la herse" that are supposed to have the value shield with lines in them, instead of plain. I have also looked on eBay and they have shown many of 98-102 and I can not discern any difference in any of them. Am I missing something here? Any help will certainly be appreciated!
