These stamps mark the change from watermarked to unwatermarked paper in 1916, the same change that the ordinary stamps, the perf 10 unwatermarked Washington Franklins underwent. Only the 1¢ and 2¢ stamps were issued in the unwatermarked perf 10 format, since there was enough stock of the other values. By 1917, the supply of the higher denominations dwindled to the point that new production was needed, but by then the perforation had been changed to 11 - see the perf 11 Postage Dues of 1917.
