Warren G. Harding, the 29th President, died in San Francisco on August 2, 1923, during a trip across America. A Harding memorial stamp was proposed by his colleagues, to be printed in black, and it was rushed into production. The first printing was issued on September 1, 1923 (Scott #610) in his home town of Marion, Ohio, it was decided to increase production by utilizing the rotary press, and a printing in a perforation gauge of 10 was produced shortly after the first printing (Scott 612) on September 12.
The 2c Harding Rotary in a perforation gauge of 11 stamp was discovered in 1938 by the New York firm, Stanley Gibbons Inc. Noted collector and author, Gary Griffith suggested that the 1922-26 rotary-printed sheets of 400 were first reduced to panes of 100 and then fed through the 11-gauge perforating machine which was normally used for the flat plate sheets. This explanation allows for straight-edge examples of Scott 613. Suggested Bid $30,000-35,000 (Image)
