Scott #1031A is a 1 and 1/4 cent definitive stamp issued June 17, 1960 in the Liberty series, illustrating the Palace of the Governors, Santa Fe. Eight hundred copies at face value would have cost $10.00.

Well yes, in a way. There are revenues with a face value of one-eighth of a cent.

Good guess, thanks.
But this stamp is 12,5 cents, you can't get 800 of them for $1.00!

This thread is going slowly down the hill ! The opening post mentioned nothing about 12½ cents.

This is confusing me!! Is someone getting 0.125 cents mixed up with 12.5 cents?

A bit Bossy, dontchya think? You're always worrying what someone would think if they stumbled onto the site and read certain posts. If they read this, they'd prolly think, "Who's this guy?".

I believe that I already answered the question posed by @1899.... The 800 stamps for $1.00 would be the only 1/8c US revenue stamp - 1898 Proprietary Stamp, Scott #RB20.

I was really surprised when the the string continued after Terry's response. The only reason was a math thing - 12.5 cents vs .125 cents, an easy mistake to make!!

I was thinking of standard mail stamps.
Revs would have given it away though...
