Scott $35,000. Estimate $10,000 - 15,000 A small quantity of 1¢ Rotary Press stamps was perforated 11 gauge at the end of 1922, using remainder sheets from the earlier printings that were normally perforated in 10 gauge or 10/11 compound gauge. Its existence as a Perf 11 variety was discovered in 1936, and the stamp received its Scott Catalogue listing in 1938. Most of the recorded copies of Scott 544 are off-center or have been damaged (likely the result of irregular production and mishandling).
