Scott #807 [1938 3 cent Jefferson "Prexie", Sheet Stamp] Mint, no gum, paper slightly aged. Dramatic MISPERFORATION with the perforations shifted about 10% upward (and slightly to the left), resulting in the text "3 CENTS 3" cut in half. While misperforations are not considered to be "rarities", they are somewhat unusual on the sheet stamps (more often seen on the booklet and coil stamps) of this issue. I have probably had more than 1,000,000 examples of this sheet stamp, but this is the only significant misperforation that I have been able to offer as of June 2025. ACTUAL item. |

Scott #810 [1938 5 cent Monroe "Prexie", Sheet Stamp] (Used) Precancel "NEW YORK / N.Y.", with nearly full gum, but small bits of envelope adhesion indicating that it had been on an envelope (and had been pried off). Dramatic MISPERFORATION with the perforations shifted about 8% downward (and to the left), resulting in the perforations cutting through "UNITED". While misperforations are not considered to be "rarities", they are somewhat unusual on the sheet stamps (more often seen on the booklet and coil stamps) of this issue. I have had thousands of examples of this sheet stamp, but this is the only significant misperforation that I have been able to offer; it is also the only Prexie Precanceled misperforation that I can recall having as of June 2025. ACTUAL item. |
