What's more, the face values of the stamps add up to 12 d = 1 shilling each, so you could buy these strips easily from coin-operated vending machines.

Happy holidays!

re: Strip QEII stamps

If you came upon stamps from those coil strips singly, or in a pair, look at the top and bottom perforation tips which will all seem to have been guillotine cut when the original sheet was cut into long strips and rolled into coils.
Where you can see the left and right perforation edges you would see raggedy torn perf tips, not cut. Unfortunately, this scan does not show the left, or the other left, edge perforation tips.
In Deegam speak, for a horizontal coil, they would be described as CTCT, (Cut, Torn, Cut, Torn) counting from the top edge around clockwise. Thus, a vertical coil stamp would be TCTC (Torn, Cut, Torn, Cut).
Many individual color/value Machins exist not just both ways, vertical and horizontal coils (CTCT & TCTC) but with a single edge cut, or two adjacent edges cut, which means they we a part of a booklet.
Imagine a nine stamp booklet; CTTT, TCTT, TTCT, TTTC for single edge cut positions and CCTT, TCCT, TTCC, CTTC.
So a dedicated Machinista would seek as many as eleven examples should that color/value have been issued in sheet, coil and booklet formats. Easily identified by sharp, young, naked eyes, or with a low value magnifier.

All a part of the Machin collection.
