VERY FINE. AN EXTREMELY RARE BOOKLET PANE OF NINE STAMPS OF THE 3-CENT PRESIDENTIAL ISSUE, IMPERFORATE VERTICALLY BETWEEN TWO LEFT COLUMNS.

The right six stamps should have been the booklet pane, but due to the foldover the pane was miscut, resulting in this striking variety. The Rustad book illustrates two others (p. 52) including one with a vertical gutter.

With 1981 P.F. certificate. Signed in pencil on back. Listed but unpriced in Scott.
