image 1923, 1¢ green, rotary coil waste. Part o.g., strong color and impression; natural s.e. at top, thinned, Fine appearance, with 2010 P.S.E. certificate.
Scott No. 594; $65,000.

AN EXTREMELY RARE ORIGINAL-GUM EXAMPLE OF THE 1¢ ROTARY PERF 11 ISSUE, ONE OF THE RAREST 20TH CENTURY STAMPS IN UNUSED CONDITION.

The coil waste issues came about from the unusable portions (or waste) the derived when producing coils from the horizontal rotary printings. In the case of the 1923 1¢ coil waste (594) the waste had not been previously perforated and therefore were entirely perforated with the flat plate perforator which gauged 11x11. Since the Bureau did not consider this "coil waste" a different issue, no formal announcement was issues prior to their release. It wasn't until 1925 that this issue was discovered in used condition and by the next year only four examples were on record.

Scott No. 1610c; $17,500.

Known as the "CIA" invert, the known pane of 100 was sold by the McLean, Virginia post office in the spring of 1986 an employee of the CIA who had been sent to the post office to buy stamps for the agency. The inverted error was discovered shortly after and nine CIA employees decided to switch the errors for newly purchased normal issues. The story of what happen eventually was leaked and a scandal eventually ensued with four employees being fired.
