10c Yellow, Coil (356). Mint N.H. pair, vibrant color on crisp paper, choice centering for this difficult issue VERY FINE AND CHOICE. AN INCREDIBLY RARE MINT NEVER-HINGED PAIR OF THE 10-CENT
PERF 12 HORIZONTAL COIL, SCOTT 356. THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST DIFFICULT ISSUES TO OBTAIN IN MINT NEVER-HINGED CONDITION. A MAJOR CONDITION RARITY. 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. A review using Power Search revealed an astonishing fact: since 1992 we have offered only two Mint N.H. pairs since
keeping computerized records. We have offered in Mint N.H. condition the following examples of Scott No. 356: two guide line pairs, one guide line strip of four, two pairs and three singles. Ex Scarsdale. With 1975, 2000 and 2007 P.F.
