These definitions from the Plate Number Coil Collectors Club glossary should help:


Quote:
Liner Paper

Almost all Self-Adhesive (SA) coil stamps have a backing paper or liner to which the stamps are affixed. There were a couple of experimental 'linerless coils' produced that did not employ backing paper. On coils of 100, the liner is the same size as the stamps. On larger rolls, the liner is often larger (taller) than the stamps. Some larger rolls also have space between the stamps on the liner.

Linerless Self-Adhesive Coils

USPS produced Linerless coils that use stamps as substitute liners. These experimental linerless coils were produced as a conservation measure to help preserve the environment. Examples are the 32c Flag and 25c Jukebox issued on March 14, 1997 and the 33c Berries issued in 2000.

The Jukebox (3132) is easy to ID because it is imperf. Also the linerless Berries (3404-07) are a vertical coil (perfs on top and bottom) while the regulare linered Berries is a horizontal coil (perfs on the sides). And the linerless Snowmen (3680-83)are the only coil version of the Snowmen, so nothing to get them mixed up with. Only the linerless 32c Flag over Porch (3132) is a little tricky as there are many different FoP coils.

Cool - didn't realize the jukebox was imperf. Have't come across one of them yet.

The Flag over porch is the one that's driving me nuts.

Are there any hints to identifying the FoP linerless?

Thanks for the help
