I have a 1p perf 10 and wanting to confirm the perforation for Scott 61 (base, a b, c, etc). I looked at Colnect (since good to see variants) and it states Sc 61 perf 11 . Now Stamp Manage (not always very accurate) has it as perf 12. from 2018 Scott Classic  Colnect 3-4-24  |

In Scott, perforation varieties with premiums are listed as minor catalog numbers. Perf 10 is the basic #61, along with any of the other possibles listed in the header. Perf10 & perf11 (rose, not the deep carmine variety) are the most common.
Scott does a disservice by not listing out all the other perforation varieties that have a significant premium -- thereby letting the collector think everything that is not listed is #61 catalog value. You really need to go to SG to see all the perforation/die varieties.
Regarding the info in Stamp Manage, as far as I know, the perf12 only exists as a compound with another different perf (e.g., 12x11½). I defer to others to confirm or correct.

Now Stamp Manage (not always very accurate) has it as perf 12. from 2018 Scott Classic Colnect 3-4-24 Re Colnect's listing, since Scott uses the same number for several perf variations, we assign the basic Sn number to the most common perforation variety (based on Campbell Paterson) and in this case that is the perf 11 for the Rose. The perf 10 rose is linked as a regular variant, but does not have an Sn number assigned since it is slightly more valuable than the perf 11. |

Thanks. I believe the first perf mentioned is usually the default but was unsore. djcmh, Scott does not state the perf 10 is more valuable explicity but even the Scott classic 2018 does not have nearlyu the same number of listings as SG's 1840-1970. |
