Dutch, Chasa is correct. Look at the bottom of that "coil" It should be straight and parallel to the design of the stamp. It is not - someone tried to make a curiosity.
This stamp was never issued as a coil. Someone took a margin copy, and tried to make it look like a coil. The red line is the cut line where the printer cut the large sheet into smaller panes.
thank you all for the info, but just to make sure, since I have a few more, from various collections, a coil can NEVER have the (extra) line on the non perf side?
