The first is a Montenegro Postage Due SG#D141.
The second is SG#2726a, as Wadmalatz says, 1979. A Coil stamp.

Query- how is the Bulgarian stamp coil when there are perfs on all sides?
I ask because this is the second thread I've seen where an all perfed stamp has been identified as coil. I didn't figure there was any point to mention it the first time since I figured everyone would see it was mislabeled. But now I'm wondering if I'm missing something.

Hi James,

Originally coil stamps were printed in sheet form, and then separated into strips to create coils.

OK, then how do you tell the difference between a sheet originated coil and just a stamp from a sheet? And you say 'originally'. That Bulgarian is 1979, relatively recent.

`MiNr. 2813-2814 gedruckt in Rollen, jede 5. Marke weist auf der Rückseite eine Zahlnummer auf.'
well, this is "myyyy way" to tell the difference....

Thanks guys,
It's curious how they leapt out and bite you from the catalogue
when you know what they are.

Thread topic adjusted to indicate solution.

James,
these were only supplied as coils,
which make it easy. :)

IIRC the KG6 Australian coil stamps have a peculiar
perforation, the diameter of the pins are larger
in the centre and diminish (barely visible)
as the get to the ege of the frame of the stamp,
to facilitate easy seperation from the coil.
