U.S. #631 used with huge margins. This stamp is occasionally faked by trimming the perforations from #582, #598, #605 and #633, but it is much more frequently confused with the flat plate imperforate printing, #576. This one measures precisely 19.4056 x 22.7584, clearly rotary press dimensions.
A Little About Me and My Commitment to You
I’ve been a regular
member of the APS for over 40 years (member ID# 130461) and I’m still a
collector more than anything. If you check my feedback history, you will
find that not only is it pristine, but that I buy far more than I sell.
One thing that really troubles me are sellers who just throw a stamp up for sale and don’t even take the time to offer a
good description or a compelling reason why I should want to buy their
item. As an experienced collector and seller, my commitment to you is
that I will always provide a thoughtful and truthful commentary on all the
relevant aspects of every stamp that I offer for sale/auction. And I will
give you the bad as well as the good, though I try not to sell stamps that have
problems. Where applicable, I will also do my best to impart any useful
information on the stamp and any pitfalls buyers should be aware of. In the
unlikely event that I have misidentified a stamp, I will gladly cover your
costs of expertization* provided both the stamp and certificate are returned to
me. As far as I know, I am the only seller that makes this guarantee. So
bid/buy with confidence that what you will receive is exactly what I have
described and if you feel it is not, that I will make the return process as
pleasant as possible. You can also expect an interesting assortment of
stamps adorning your shipment--no run-of-the-mill forever stamps or postage
meter strips! See photo #3 for a
sample of what you can expect.
