"Scott 632 remained in use from 1927 until it was replaced in 1938 by the 1 cent Presidential issue" -------------------------------------------
If we subscribe to the term "replaced" in terms of denomination, then the 632 was *replaced* by the 1¢ Washington, Bicentennial in 1932, #705... with plate numbers beginning at 20561, with the last reported plate as 20844, followed by the Century of Progress 1¢ in 1933, followed by the 1¢ #740 Yosemite (21246-21253) and 3 or 4 other 1¢ stamps (all) before 1938...
If you disregard the above, then it would be a valid statement to make if you view the *series* 632-642 as being replaced in 1938 by the Prexies ~ 803-834... however, as demonstrated there were serveral 1¢ issues between 632 and 804... -------------------------------------------

Commems were issued for a limited period, but the definitive issues were issued for, usually, large periods of times and were the vast majority of stamps sold and used.
Quote: "it is obvious that using the perf gauge to check the holes, or the perf tips gives identical readings, so neither method can be called 'incorrect'"
I really didn't know that? Thank you chasa for the correction.
Not that simple. The image is not good enough to rule out other alternatives. While the 1 cent stamp is likely to be as 552, it should be checked for height by overlaying a rotary press sheet stamp or a flat plate sheet stamp to prove that it is flat plate. Measuring would be counter productive. Back to the image. Please use a scanner.
