re: Need help to id this US stamp

Thank you for the help Michael. I don't have the specialized cat. Could you give me an idea of what the stamp is worth?

re: Need help to id this US stamp

You will have to ID the basic stamp (the imperf version of the stamp). The values depending on which type it is run from less than $1.00 to $50,00, with most worth a dollar or two.

re: Need help to id this US stamp

After you ID the stamp, post the catalog number. Can give you a current value, if you want. Just remember that it is the 2 cent as an imperf that you need to ID from the regular listings.

Imperf coils were made for several companies that had manufactured coil dispensing machines. The perforations vary by machine and by company.

re: Need help to id this US stamp

The used #384 with a Shermack perf has a 2015 Scott catalog value of $.70. Scott lists them as pairs ($1.40 cat used).

Anyone finding these on cover should never soak them off. For example, the #384 has a catalog value of $25.00 for a pair on cover.

There also are many counterfeits, which is the reason for having an attached pair in the catalog valuation.

re: Need help to id this US stamp

Thank you for all the help, Michael. This stamp was not on any cover, and part of some kiloware I had purchased. I was intrigued, as I had not seen another stamp made like this one.
Thank you again for all the help.
Happy New Year.
