Just picked up another #1 + #99 a pair of #349 all used and a mint #396 OG but hinged  ,the #1 has a light pen X cancel and all margins,the #99 is a little worse for ware but nice and the pair of #349 is a vertical pair not well centered but with a nice cancellation.  |

Sounds like some good stamps. The perf 12 coils were known for poor centering. The perf 8.5's are some of my all time favorites, they are a very distinct coil to say the least. A no. 1 is always great to get but a 99 is truly a great find. |

A 355 too! These early coils are some of my favorite stamps. The perf 12 and 8.5 were really almost experimental. Sounds like a fantastic group of stamps. |

The Washington-Franklin early coils are indeed fascinating. There a few that you would not dare pay the high price for without certification. Scott gives several warnings about the fakes out there.
The early perf 12's are really nice stamps. |

Thanks Edwin and yes I'm very pleased with this lot as nealy all of these are hard to find,the #99 for $99 was one of my best buy's this year. Oh I forgot to say I also picked up another #20 as well,didn't need it as I already have one and it wasn't that I just liked the look of it it was a type"O" from the seller and I got stuck with it,my own fault for not remembering what a #30 looked like  . regards  |

Russ the #1 was a nice find that will replace the #1 in the album but the #99 was even better and like my old grandfather use to say "good thing come to those who wait"and to make a nice story even better I just picked up a #355 mint fine OG NH
