Hello julsscott - No, it is perf. 10 on all sides, so not a 423a. But keep looking - they are very rare, but you may stumble across one! Always assume you have the most common stamp unless verified.

Cheers,

Dave

Thank you for your reply. Can I also ask if the inverted Chicago Illinois by itself is something special?

Yes, the 423a IS perf. 12 x 10. Your stamp is perf. 10 x 10. The perforation is NOT how many perforations are on a side, but is how many perforations are within 2 centimeters length. You need a perforation gauge to measure the perforation on each side.

The Chicago precancel is not uncommon, and that includes the inverted precancel.

Cheers,

Dave
