I going to re-check the other 250 to see how many are 10's and how many are 9.75's
One poster said the Franklins are 9.75 but rounded up to 10 in the Scott book
Results will decide if 9.75 or 10 wins

Germania Hopefully these 4 pix will come out clear using enhanced option All 4 sides using the white paper gauge came out dead center 11 Even the black metal gauge created an exact 11 on all 4 sides I'd like to hear your reply to these pix     |

In my reply I meant to write 10.5 x 11. The top and bottom are 10.5, the sides are 11. Here is your image (it would be better if the image were in focus) with the top of the stamp copied, rotated and placed along the side so that the first perforation hole is aligned. As you move down the stamp the holes do not line uo anymore.  |

Germania, I respectfully disagree. I think this stamp is a 552 (flat plate, perf. 11, issued 1923, value .25). The rotary press compound perf 11x10.5 (632) was issued in 1927. The postmark shows a 1924 cancellation. Is this a possibility? |

Jr. Ratfish - yes, based on the year it would be flat plate, perf 11. The method I used works well with an in-focus scanned image. With an out-of-focus skewed image not so much. Thanks. |

Why are we continuing to have post after post with vague pictures taken at angles that show incorrect use of a perforfation gauge that is held at an angle to the stamp and even then shows a shift? |
