VERY FINE AND CHOICE. A BEAUTIFUL EXAMPLE OF THE RARE 3-CENT ORANGEBURG COIL ON COVER. ONE OF THE FINEST OF THE TWELVE ORANGEBURG COIL COVERS CERTIFIED BY THE PHILATELIC FOUNDATION.

The Orangeburg coil was made by the Post Office Department in 1911 specifically for use by the Bell Pharmaceutical Company. The 3c coil stamps were used to send samples of their products to physicians. Due to the quantity of mail, they were put through the first-class cancelling machine at Orangeburg, New York. The Orangeburg coil stamps' use on third-class mail, and the fact that philatelists were generally unaware of their production accounts for their rarity.

VERY FINE-EXTREMELY FINE. A RARE OFFERING OF A COMPLETE 1913-15 PERF SET IN CHOICE CONDITION.

Many of the stamps in this series are considered by specialists of the area to be notoriously difficult to find well-centered. This set, combining fresh colors and excellent centering, would be difficult to duplicate.
