Updated September 9, 2026

1922 Roosevelt Pair Scott# 557 Perf 11 Your item is a pair of U.S. Scott Catalogue #557: the 1923 5¢ dark blue Theodore Roosevelt, flat plate printing, perforated 11, unwatermarked.Design: Portrait of Theodore Roosevelt (based on a photograph), dark blue color, part of the 1922-1925 Regular Issue (Series of 1922). Key Features: Perforated 11 all around; sheet stamp (not coil). Issued starting May 1923. Note on Description: The "1922" date and "Washington" likely refer to the series era (often called Washington-Franklin extensions, though Roosevelt is distinct).
