1 Cents George Washington

Hello members,

I have a 1 cent stamp need help to confirm if this stamp is 11 perforation I'm not an expert I think is 11. Please advice. Thank you.

Yes, it does appear to be 11 which is confirmed by your photo with the perfortion gauge. There are four different Scott numbers: 498, 525, 544 and 545 for this 1c Washington stamp design. The first number is printed on a flat plate press, the second is printed on an offset press and the last two are printed on a rotary press. The two stamps printed on a rotary press differ in the dimensions of the printed design. All four have perforation 11 on all four sides.

A resource that is helpful in identifying US stamps is theswedishtiger.com

Yep, perf 11. Stamp looks like an offset printing to me.
