sorted 100 or so didn't find any 4391 and only two 4395. Have lots of the other four ...

a scan of the page ... going to spiff it up a bit at home with a color printer. This was a first shot at it ...

clif, yes that 4391 is a tough one. I went through a pile of these last year and found 0...but this issue is not the only of the more recent flag issues where they issued a perf/lick & stick that is very difficult to find in mixes. I am hoping that in some older kiloware that I have stashed in my closet, one of these will turn up.

For a while I thought the Scott catalog would never figure this out. To me it makes sense that there is a higher catalog value for this stamp but it made sense before these stamps were even issued. It sure took them along time to move the value up. It is really difficult to find these lick and stick values from some of these issues.

Mystic places a pretty good premium on the used 4391 ... which matches what I found when I looked on Bidstart/Ebay ... lots of mint copies for about a buck .. no used copies at all.

would it be considered "cheating" if I bought a strip of mint 4391 and mailed them to myself in order to get the apparently elusive used copy for my collection? If I bought a strip of 5 I could probably resell the remaining 4 and make a buck off of the deal (probably wouldn't ... but could).
I know I know ... no one would ever know but me ... has anybody ever done anything like that?

My luck they would either forget to cancel it or cancel it with a pen.

I think that one is mislabeled .. so far as I can see from the pic it is not a perf stamp but rather a diecut ... probably 4395

the bag of flags just keeps on giving ... finally finished sorting the coils out of the 02-05 bag this morning ... found one complete set out of roughly 300 coils. Guess I'm happy I found at least one set ...
Anyway came across three of these ... 3632 very common coils but with a straight edge on the left. Does anyone know if there's a term for these? they appear to be the first stamp in the coil ...
