Note: Over a decade, various stamps - 4c., 8c. and 12c., were bisected or trisected when there was a shortage of two cents and four cents values. The four cents and eight cents are known bisected, and the twelve cents is found trisected.

Although this practice was the subject of an official notice in 1862, it continued and, at least in some cases, was accepted by the Post Office.
