The demand for this value having increased, the less expensive and faster method of precancelling and printing was introduced. As in the other values these were first perforated ten gauge and issued in 100 subject sheets precancelled. They were first obtainable only at the Philatelic Agency in mint condition. Those first issued to postmasters were precanceIled, and were not in general use without precancelling until about a year after they had been placed on sale at the Agency for the benefit of stamp collectors and dealers
