I have encountered an imperforate version of O-56 which is not listed in the Scott catalog. As you can see, the margins are very substantial indicating it is not a trimmed version of the perforated stamp. However, the paper seems thinner than normal which may indicate a poor forgery(?). Any thoughts?  |

According to my Michel USA Spezial 1980,there are imperforated specimen of nearly all US service-stamps.Except of two of them (Post Office 15 C. and WAR (ABN) 3 C.) none were issued regularly.

Perhaps it is a plate proof on India paper (Scott O56P3).

That would be my guess, too.

Looks like a color proof to me.

Thanks for the info all- sorry it took so long for me to respond! I looked around and found this For Sale listing, which indicates that your ID was correct. 2022 catg value = $20.  |
