389

#389, 3c Deep violet, Ty. I, "Orangeburg Coil", perf. 12 vert., a used example of this coil rarity, which was issued specifically for use by the Bell Pharmaceutical Co. to mail their samples to doctors, being one of the few completely sound examples available, intense violet shade and a deep impression, centered to bottom right but perforations just barely touch design, neat wavy line machine cancel, fine; of the modest existing population of this sought-after coil, we estimate that less than one third are found without any of the faults so often associated with this stamp; 1992 PF certificate.
