Hello! Does anyone have a catalogue ID on this stamp for imperf? Can't seem to find any imperf variety on this one. Thanks!

Maverick, I believe this is a newspaper stamp. Is it possible this issue exists both perforated and imperf?

Pretty sure I see remnants of perfs along the right side, especially the bottom half of the right side. Yes? No?

[edited to add, Peter's got it, it is definitely a newspaper stamp]

Newspaper stamp issued 1876, Scott P1, Perf. 11 1/2, 12 1/2, 13 1/2. No info on imperf copies so this does appear to be cut down. 2009 cat price is $1.40

Thanks everyone. I'll post a closer up pic of that right side for more review any your thoughts regarding the perfs.

The fourth and fifth arrows from the top that I added to your earlier image are pointing to locations that are even more apparent now.

I am certain the right side was trimmed.
