(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.
