10c Yellow, Coil (356). Strip of three, vibrant color as fresh as the day it was printed, two neat strikes of Philadelphia oval registry cancel and also with registry number at bottom, right stamp small thin spot VERY FINE. ONE OF THE FINEST OF THE SIXTEEN RECORDED GENUINE USED MULTIPLES OF THE 10-CENT HORIZONTAL COIL, SCOTT 356. ESPECIALLY IMPRESSIVE AS A STRIP OF THREE. IN OUR OPINION THERE ARE NO GENUINELY USED GUIDE LINE PAIRS OF THIS ISSUE. According to Johl (Volume 1, page 181), only 10,000 of the 10c Washington coil stamp were issued. They were made especially for a New York firm to send out advertising samples, similar to the 3c Orangeburg coil. Only a few rolls were sold to the firm, and the remaining rolls were distributed to some of the large post offices across the country. Dealers acquired several rolls, but because most contemporary collectors did not collect coils, many were used and destroyed. Our census of Scott No. 356 in used multiples, available at http://siegelauctions.com/dynamic/census/356/356.pdf , contains thirteen pairs, one strip of four and two strips of three. The other strip of three is rejoined. Five of the pairs originated on the same cover, which was prepared by Henry Hammelman and mailed in August 1911. It also contained other denominations. A guide line pair has been certified as genuine, but the cancel needs to be reexamined to see if it is one of the fakes produced during the last 20 years. With 1976 and 1996 P.F. certificates. Last offered in our 1997 Rarities sale. Scott Retail as pair and single. Robert Siegel Auction Galleries, Sep 2012, Sale 1028, Lot 336 |
