Thanks for the links Aurora. I know perf 10 horizontal is #606 but couldn't find a number for a perf 11 horizontal. Is this a possible variety or a total fake?

Appears to be trimmed at right. First, note the right edge is not perfectly straight


Additionally, there appears to be remaining perf indents in several places as shown here

It is most likely made from a miscut 634d booklet pane middle left side stamp that was altered (trimmed) to make a philatelic variety (non-existent U.S. perf. 11 coil) that was philatelically mailed. See picture:

Thanks for the info everyone. I figured this was probably some type of alteration and now I know for sure.
