Never mind these stamps were never issued in coil format.

Line+pair=line pair . . . not.

Now, an astute and experienced collector might also be able to get good finds through dealer mis-identification.

It's true there are a lot of dealers who mis-label their wares, whether deliberately or not. There are so many of them it's a certainty they are not all experts, by any means. Buyer beware.
But I do have to say, I don't see these labeled as coil or line pair anywhere in the ad. Am I looking in the wrong place?

I am glad you clarified, smauggie. I could not see the pair described as a "line pair". Maybe you did inspire the change.
