(1) These stamps are very similar to and should not be confused with the common perf 11 stamp, Scott 498. Since they were printed on the rotary press rather than by the flat plate method, they will measure either slightly taller (sheet waste) or slightly wider (coil waste). See the methods of printing page for more information on how to distinguish flat plate from rotary press printings.
