Hi,
As there is no evidence of a grill. 152 is my guess as I do not see the Continental secret mark.

You answered your own question. It is hard paper with no grill so it must be 152. The side with no perfs was either cut or torn, and the cancel is a common geometric purple cancel made up of small squares.

I learn about the US stamps and I saw stamps non-perforated a one or two sides.I ask if the non-perforated side of my stamp is a common or accidental situation affecting the quote of the stamp.

The straight edge is common. This stamp was printed in plates of 200 divided down the center into panes of 100. From every plate of 200 there are 20 with a straight edge.The left pane will have a straight edge on the right side and the pane from the right side will have a straight edge of the left side. Your stamp is from the left pane. Over the years many of the straight edges were "reperfed" so there will be less then originally printed.

it is a beautiful stamp.
while many people disdain the straight edges, math tells us that they are far rarer than the four-sided perf stamps (10% vs 90%). Myself, I far prefer them for that very reason.
It is also nicely centered for the period.

Thank you,all.
I learned a bit about US stamps by reading the discussions in Stamporama and the old Scott catalog I managed to find.
StampSmarter site is extraordinary through its information. I have a 205 scott stamp that even if it was stamped, I hoped it would be 205C (gray-brown as in Scott) .... but I found out about the snap test and found that the paper is not soft porous.
I have the 1,2,3,5 and 10c stamp of this serie and I hope to pass the test of identification
In a few days I will ask you for confirmation.
