Description: 1923 U.S. ROTARY PRESS 2c Carmine p.11 x 10 Sc#579 M/NH/OG RARE! ** Wow! We haven't seen a 11 x10 Coil Waste Sc# 579 for some time. Great addition to anyone's advanced U.S. Collection. Background: Series of 1922-3 Coil Waste Stamps Due to poor centering and other minor defects, a number of coil stamp sheets had been set aside as “waste” to be destroyed. Some of them had been perforated vertically or horizontally, while others had not been perforated at all. According to Bureau Director James Wilmeth, they had been “laid aside as mutilated because they cannot be made into coils on account of some defect.” Although these stamps were unsuitable for coils, they could be issued satisfactorily as sheet stamps. In an effort to save money, which was still in short supply after the war, the Bureau decided to release these stamps in sheets. Numerous sheets of the 1¢ Green, 2¢ Carmine Rose, and 3¢ Violet had already been perforated 10 vertically. They were then perforated 11 horizontally and issued with 11x10 perforations.
