8c Olive Green, Bluish (363). Rich color on blued paper, single perf added (or reattached) at bottom left corner

FINE APPEARING EXAMPLE OF THE RARE 8-CENT BLUISH PAPER.

The June 1910 Third Assistant Postmaster General’s report states that 4,000 (ten sheets) of the 8c were printed on Bluish Paper. It is believed that none of the 4c and 8c Bluish Paper stamps were distributed to post offices, and that all of the examples in collectors’ hands reached the market through the Travers-Steinmetz exchange and the 1914 National Museum trades to H. F. Colman (12 copies) and Nassau Stamp Company (65 copies).

With 1961 and 2012 P.F. certificates, only the latter mentioning the added perf. Purple backstamp
