Terry, if you have a Scott specialized catalog you can find the answer in the introduction. Short answer: Many early US stamps were printed in large sheets of 400 stamps. To make them easier to handle they were cut into panes of 100. Depending on the position in the sheet the edge stamps in these panes can have one or two imperforate sides
I collect wavy end/start of coil stamps. The following ones have me confused. They are missing their die cuts on one end. Were they cut that way for some reason? Some of the edges are pretty ragged. Are they end/start of coil stamps? Any ideas? Thanks!
Gierhead, some of your pictures are hard to interpret as to what the perfs look like. On the older coils ( like through about 2000 ) the end perforations could be a straight line On the newer stamps with die cuts the last stamp on the roll usually has a kind of sawtooth die cut.
