Show Your US 1857 Perforated Stamps

ClassicCoins started the imperforate thread, and it has held my attention during this time of social distancing. And, to be honest, I prefer the imperforate issues to the slightly later perforated issues. But let's see what you've got from the slightly later period! To those of you that prefer the later issue: show me what you have and try to convince me that I should take up the later stamps!!!

Let me start- I like carrier cancels. Here is a #20 with a nice strike:




and here is a nicely struck #26:

Those stamps and cancels are gorgeous, mootermutt987!

Thanks for starting this topic.

Holy Moly Mooter

This is my best #24. Don't have many blue stamps.

Nice stamp, Stampcrow! I love blue stamps with red cancels, plus your's has a partial imprint capture! Thanks for sharing.

That's beauty, Stephen! The cancel being just clear of the facial features really gives your stamp good eye appeal.

If this weren't an error cancel, this stamp would set back the #26a EKU (11 Jul 1857) by almost six months.

Yes, date slug clearly wrong. Very interesting example.

FWIW, to complement this thread there already exist specific threads for each of the plates that produced Scott #24.

dudley - Can you please post the link to threads for each of the plates that produced Scott #24?

Here is my #18

Here is another prettier #18.

widglo46, that's an outstanding, well-centered #18, with beautiful color! Thanks for showing it.

Couldn't find one for Plate 7 or Plate 10, but I thought we had both at one time.

We don't have a plate 10 thread.

Another superb #18, widglo46! I love the red cancel. I'm curious about the second cancel on your second #18.
