Scott 3133 32c Linerless Flag Over Porch Coil

Sometimes when you store something away, you forget about it and it may come back to haunt you. So it is with the Scott 3133 32c linerless Flag Over Porch coil. I bought a roll of them from the USPS in a blue plastic dispenser when they were first issued. I know the stamps were supposed to be coated to keep them from sticking to each other. But I can't help thinking that after 25 years, that coating may no longer be effective and that I may have nothing more than a glob of non-detachable stamps to deal with. Before I unseal this roll, has anyone had any experience with this stamp in a roll? Thanks!

I don't have experience with this one, but do with the 33c linerless Berries and they did tend t o stick together - not everyone, but you'd get some where it would pull off the part of the surface of the stamp below it.

Stamp dealer Brian Engler St. of Pennsylvania reported adhesive problems on these stamps, which was reported by Linn's on 16 July 2019 in an article titled, Linerless coil stamps are starting to fuse together

Thanks for directing me to that article. I think I will open this roll and see what horrors await. :-)

I acquired three of these rolls in an auction box, and found that they
were stuck together. Any attempt to pull them apart resulted in
ruined stamps. I solved the problem with Pure Citrus and a lot
of patience. Little by little, the roll was eventually salvaged and
the stamps were usable (minus the adhesive of course). A glue
stick works fine to apply them to an envelope.
