I have been cataloging my collection but can't seem to find information on these plate number coil pairs, specifically their value. Can anyone help me?

Scott does not give catalogue values for modern line pairs ... coils are instead collected in plate number strips of 3 or 5, usually 5. They do, however, list CVs for plate number singles. Your stamps are Scott #1908. 2018 CV for plate singles are $0.90 & $0.65 for plate #s 11 and 13 respectively. Pairs would be worth slightly more.

Thank you for the help. I have been considering entering them as singles to list a value but didn't want to undervalue them too much. Once again, thank you. This forum is great. I've been collecting for 40 years but really just started getting serious about it this year and have learned an incredible amount. Well, enough to know I need to go back through my collection and re-evaluate quite a few issues!

I've listed my plate number strips of three as the value of a single and the plate number single, unless - in the rare instance - the single value exceeds the Scott catalog minimum value, then its two singles and the plate number single prices.

You are absolutely correct ... I managed to not notice which column I was reading in my catalog. So, instead of adding a stamp to a used pair, one should probably subtract a stamp from a mint PS3 ... something less than $5 for plate 11, less than $2.75 for plate 13. Thanks for the catch!
