Below is a photo of 4 coil stamps that are on a 1926 first flight cover. I would greatly appreciate any thoughts on which Scott numbers these particular ones are. They are all perforation 10. Also, the two three cent ones on the right side of the strip of three are a line pair.

Many thanks!!

They appear to be 3 cent rotary coils, probably unwatermarked given how late the usage is.

The stamps appear to be type II Scott 494. A larger image is needed, but the toga button outlines seem to be well defined.

Here is a closeup of the toga button. Does this help confirm which one it is?

The most prominent tell is the lock of hairs above Washington's ear the "O" and "S" of postage at the top of the design.
