The Auction:
This is a COMPLETE
set of 7 coil stamps FVF and
MNH. It is the Americana
Issue with National Bureau precancel (bars
only) type 1.3 coils. The engraved
and untagged side coils
are all perf. 10. vert.
The Americana
coil series ran from years 1975 - 1981 right through our nation's
Bicentennial. The coil set is sometime broken up
into 2 parts because the last 2 stamps were
printed later in the early '80s. Americana coils were
also printed with City
type and Special
Service overprints (sold separately).
Many
of these beautiful stamps have very fine centering.
There is a 30% premium for VF but we offer
better quality at our regular low price! Mint never
hinged Bureau of
Engraving and Printing (BEP) precancels are less common than used.
There is renewed interest in mint
never hinged precanceled USA material from this era.
