Anyone wondering what is so special about the above stamp that it needed a certificate? |

I sure am! I find it odd the cert does not say WHAT variety. |

The regular perforation for this stamp is 11 1/4 (K-70) x 11 (K-72) for a rotary press stamps.
However, a very few have been found with 11 (K-72) x 11 (K-72) which is for flat press stamps.
For a rotary press stamp to have flat plate perforations can be indicative of sheet waste.

So we should be on the lookout for this stamp? I will have to add that 11 1/4 and 11 to my Canadian Specialised Gauge. Is it exactly 11, or say 10.93 like some of the other "11" stamps? Also exactly 11.25?
Unitrade/Scott list the basic stamps as perf 11. |

For 11 it would be K-72 = 10.94 and for 11 1/4 it would be K-70 = 11.25 |

VGG certs are more respected in the philatelic community, are they not? |

I have had many certs from the above, overturned by the Greene Foundation. As much as he tries, he makes mistakes. |

In other threads on this site it is quite often mentioned to get a "VGG cert". Wouldn't one assume from that that they are respected? |

This 164 looks more like 164as with added perfs on the bottom. |

Okay, dumb question. For the two pictures above why aren't there any perforations between the stamps? |
