Lot 231
o
1923, 1¢ green, rotary sheet waste (596), well centered for this great 20th century rarity, fresh color and paper, full perforations all around, one of the few with the wavy line machine cancel, as opposed to the more usual Kansas City pre-cancel. Trivial, invisible corner crease, accompanying certificate notes "tiny tear" which is no more than a microscopic nick, also invisible, choice. Very Fine appearance.
