VERY FINE. AN EXCEEDINGLY RARE EXAMPLE OF THE 1923 1-CENT ROTARY PERF 11 SCOTT 544 USED ON A POST CARD. ONLY NINE POST CARDS 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.
