THIS IS A NEWLY-DISCOVERED COPY OFFERED TO THE MARKET FOR THE FIRST TIME. A TOTAL OF 44 2-CENT HARDING ROTARY PERF 11 STAMPS ARE RECORDED IN OUR CENSUS. Our revised census of the 2c Harding Rotary Perf 11 (see Zoellner sale, pp. 389-390 or http://siegelauctions.com/enc/census/613/613.htm) records 40 used singles (one faintly cancelled, if at all) and two used pairs. Of the singles, only 23 are sound. The 2c Harding Rotary Perf 11 stamp was discovered in 1938 by Leslie Lewis of the New York firm, Stanley Gibbons Inc. Gary Griffith presents his hypothesis in United States Stamps 1922-26 that rotary-printed sheets of 400 were first reduced to panes of 100 and then fed through the 11-gauge perforating machine normally used for flat plate sheets. This method distinguishes sheet-waste stamps -- Scott 544, 596 and 613 -- from the coil-waste stamps and explains the existence of a straight-edge on Scott 613. This stamp is a newly-discovered copy and is offered to the market for the first time. It becomes Census No. 613-CAN-42. With 1999 P.F. certificate. Scott value based on Fine grade (this stamp is nearly Very Fine). (Image)	27,500.00	35,000.00
