o
1923, 1¢ green, rotary coil waste (594), fresh and nicely centered with natural straight edge at left. Light slogan cancel. Fine.
Scott $10,500
Expertization: with 1983 P.F. certificate.
Because the 1¢ rotary press perf. 11 was not identified as a separate variety until two years after it was issued, most were lost to philately; only about 100 examples have been recorded to date. The vast majority of those are poorly centered and/or faulty. Scott's value is for examples "with perforations just touching frameline on one side".
