Hello everyone. I have this one stamp that took most of my day trying to identify. I hope you have better luck with it. So here it is:

Perforation 12
Measures 19.78mm X 22mm
Color red
Engraved
Type IV

Was there any coil waste of these stamps ever made? It looks like a rotary print since it is a lot wider than I`ve ever seen before. Any input would be much appreciated.

Rotary press stamps were not made until after 1910. The first experimental coils were made using the 1902 issue stamps.

Thank you for the quick reply.
I literally went through hundreds of them yesterday and I only fund this one that was this fat. My first impression was that it was a fake one but after preforming the foil test I saw that it was engraved not lithographed.
