Other than the latest lawsuit I'm not sure of any.

As far as I know there are none of any real value. Perhaps there are some lacking the appropriate perforations, but I'm unaware of them. However, as a collector, I really enjoyed the challenge of determining all the different varieties of the Forever Liberty Bells. It's difficult to put a price on some of the joys of stamp collecting, but for my two cents worth it's more valuable than money.

I think these things came out in coil format, as well as sheet, booklet, etc. One can always look thru them for coil number singles, pairs, strips and I would even bet you could find a precancel or two in there (depending on the quantity you have). If they didn't come out in coil format, ignore this post.

I bought 20 books back in 07. Ran out of stock and started using them just the other day. May start seeing 07 issues with current postmarks. Doubt they are worth anything.

Thinking of buying up another bunch of stock to hold in case US does what Canada did last week!

I count 13 varieties by Scott number. There are also two tagging varieties that Scott relegated to note status (they once had minor Scott numbers). All the stamps come from booklets or ATM panes: there are no coil varieties.

I think you'll find this buried in the previously posted SCF link, but I find these graphic illustrations very helpful in identifying the numerous Liberty Bell stamp varieties:

There are also at least 44 variations of Liberty Bell postal stationery envelopes.
