"OK, must be four."
So far so good. Dear Murasama, have you noticed connection with your comment on the 10c stamp with straight edge at left side? You said at one time, it could not be cut off because the margin was too big.
Now look at your example here, the bottom margin. It is very big! So, someone could have cut off the perforations neatly. One just has to remain open minded, and gain experience by looking at many examples.
Don't have access to many examples? yes we all do -- just review
ebay listings on an occasional basis, for example. Hope these tips help.
