On the internet I came across this fully serrated as being from 1894, while it was entered fully serrated in LD with 1901 and 1904. Moreover, the one from 1904 states that the lines above CENTAVO are dots. Strange that the photo of the 1904 photo has lines drawn and the photo of 1901 has dots. So I think that must be wrong.

Also, does anyone know how to enter my one-sided imperforate copy (photo of which is attached)?

It appears to be the one from 1901. The left side has been edited. I also see an 1894 on the internet, but if you go to the site, it says 1901 or 1904 underneath.

The question is whether the sheets, like American counter sheets printed by the ABNC, were imperforated all around and something was cut off or torn, or whether it was an imperforate copy between two stamps that was cut in half or (more like) torn is. It could also be that this was done when cutting the envelope or it was done on purpose to create a variety. Then you have a damaged copy. I'm leaning a bit towards the latter.

Loriot has already used his knowledge on this. I think it's just the edge of the skin.

You would expect an original sheet edge cut. This one looks torn.

I can no longer find the message Esquerdo and blauwhuis , but Loriot will still respond. It was about large sheets of stamps, which were cut with a knife by the postmaster. Hence the serrated edge. And that these sheets were printed by the American printing company.

I think American ABNC sheets are often divided into smaller blocks (panes). It could indeed be that they were cut up by the postmaster into smaller sheets for use at the counter or torn (along what it appears to be a ruler). No idea whether that was also the case for Bolivia. What makes me doubt is that the cutting surface is so close to the image.

But it's certainly a possibility. In which case it is a regular stamp from the sheet edge.
