Domestic deliveries of up to 3,000 miles were now charged only 3 cents per half-ounce and local delivery charges were reduced to 1 cent. New portraits were introduced for Washington and Franklin, and Thomas Jefferson was added.</p><p><br /></p><p>The one cent blue Franklin introduced at this time and then re-issued with the 1857 perforated issues listed below is one of the most thoroughly studied of any stamp. This study has resulted in a large number of recognized variations. The original design for the one cent Franklin was slightly too large to fit in a 200 stamp plate. Therefore various outer elements were trimmed away to squeeze the stamps into the plate. Collectors have identified numerous types of the stamp based on how much of the design was trimmed.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://values.hobbizine.com/stamps/pics/0007.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://values.hobbizine.com/stamps/pics/0011.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> <img src="http://values.hobbizine.com/stamps/pics/0012.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> <img src="http://values.hobbizine.com/stamps/pics/0014.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> <img src="http://values.hobbizine.com/stamps/pics/0017.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Denom.
