Lot 558		o U.S.; General Issues, 1911, 3¢ Deep Violet, "Orangeburg" Coil, #389, neat strike of wavy-line machine cancel, usual centering, completely sound, Fine. 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. Many have small faults such as corner creases or small tears. Not seen on the market for decades. PF (1984) cert. Scott $10,500 (valued in grade of fine). Estimate $4,000-4,500.
