(1) This stamp is very similar to and should not be confused with the common perf 11 stamp, Scott 610. Since it was printed on the rotary press rather than by the flat plate method, it will measure slightly taller than the flat plate stamp. See the methods of printing page for more information on how to distinguish flat plate from rotary press printings.


The quantity issued are from official United States Post Office Department Records.
