Ireland #68b in the Scott catalog is a vertical coil stamp. Check the footnote.

The rare stamp is SG 74b perf 15 x imperf, i.e. where "15" refers to the top and the bottom, and "imperf" refers to the sides.

If it were #68b, the left/right sides of the stamp would be straight, not perforated.

But the feeling is good while it lasted, right?
