EXTREMELY FINE GEM. A SUPERB MINT NEVER-HINGED EXAMPLE OF THE ONE-CENT ROTARY COIL WASTE ISSUE, SCOTT 545.
By their very nature, rotary press waste stamps are extremely difficult to obtain with such choice centering. The production process was far less precise, resulting in many off-center stamps. The stamps were not meant to be perforated on the flat-plate perforating machines, which were set for a slightly different size of stamp.
With 2008 P.S.E. certificate (XF Superb 95 Jumbo). Only three grade higher (two at 98, one at 98J). We have not offered any higher since 2007. Only three others share this desirable grade. This is the first in this grade we have offered since our 2016 "Hanover" sale.
