ONE OF THE FINER NEVER HINGED EXAMPLES OF THE 1919 2¢ WASHINGTON TYPE II PERF 11 X 10 COIL WASTE ISSUE.
At the start or end of a coil-stamp print run from the 170-subject rotary plates, some leading or trailing paper was
left over that was too short for 500 stamp coil rolls. The Bureau devised a plan to salvage this waste by converting the stamps from coil stamps into sheet stamps. This was accomplished by cutting the sheets into panes and putting the panes through
the flat-plate perforator, giving the stamps perforations on all sides.Complete images including certificate(s): View gallery or Download PDF (724KB). (Image1)
