| NOTES:
#613
Apparently, BEP and US POD records are not
clear on why the 613 was produced. It was apparently produced by
utilizing rotary sheet waste and run through a flat plate perforation
machine at a perf of 11, but this is not clearly documented. The 612
(rotary, perf 10) was produced in a quantity of 99,950,300 . Apparently
the stamp was very popular and they wanted to get out as many as they
could resulting in the perf 11 Scott #613. How many were produced is
not clear.
The #613 is listed in Scott with italics and
is much more rare than the 612. Apparently no unused versions exist.
Given the proposed production method, it is highly unlikely that there
were many produced. The #613 was likely produced out of the
99,950,300 quantity of printed rotary stamps, just perforated
differently
