1c Green, Rotary Perf 11 (544). Rich color, tied by "Boston Mass. Dec. 29, 1922" machine cancel on multicolored New Year's postcard to Philadelphia

VERY FINE AN EXCEEDINGLY RARE EXAMPLE OF THE 1923 ONE-CENT ROTARY PERF 11 USED ON A POSTCARD. ONLY NINE POSTCARDS AND FIVE COVERS HAVE BEEN CERTIFIED AS GENUINE BY THE PHILATELIC FOUNDATION. A WONDERFUL EXHIBITION ITEM.

A small quantity of 1c Rotary Press stamps was perforated 11 at the end of 1922, using remainder sheets from the earlier printings that were normally perforated in 10 gauge or 11/10 compound gauge. Its existence as a Perf 11 variety was discovered in 1936, and the stamp received its Scott Catalogue listing in 1938. The earliest documented use is December 21, only eight days prior to the this usage.

With 1992 P.F. certificate
