To Coil Or Not

Calling all Aussie KGV experts

I have no idea about this one, my reference guides indicate the 1d red did come in a coil issue, but that's about all. Mmmmm over to the experts

The top of your stamp looks like a booklet.

But a booklet runs the other way.

Someone has had the scissors out on that stamp I recon.

Lets see what other think.

I agree with KGVColl. The bottom is curved as in a home made cutting job. A coilstamp would not be perforated on the bottom.

The left and right edges are also cut, not torn - so I would propose the following sequence:

The user started with a sheet of stamps and wanted them torn apart into singles. They decided to use a paper cutter. They were very careful in making the vertical cuts. Then they stacked the strips and made the horizontal cuts. During this second process the stack of strips slid around a bit with each successive cut and some of the cuts missed the perforations by a small amount deeper in the stack - also if the stack was not held down firmly near the blade, it easily buckles a bit during the cutting producing the slightly curved cut looking like a scissor cut.
