Set of 2 Stamps Differ Only in Direction of Perforations
These stamps have the identical design but were perforated on different sides. US #721 has vertical perforations while #722 has horizontal perforations. US #722 had a limited demand, since end coil stamps were only used in certain vending machines. It remained in production for eight years.
When the first-class letter rate was increased to 3¢ in June 1932, a new stamp was needed to meet the change. This stamp was adapted from the 2¢ stamp in the Washington Bicentennial Issue (#707). The denomination and color were changed and the ribbons with “1732” and “1932” were removed. The portrait of Washington by Stuart was used for the vignette. It’s the same image used on the $1 bill.
