#389, 3c Deep violet, Ty. I, "Orangeburg Coil," perf. 12 vert., deep color and impression, typical but attractive fine centering, neat wavy line cancel of Orangeburg, N.Y., faint diagonal crease at top right that is barely discernable (actually quite trivial considering that the vast majority of the few known examples are far more faulty), a fine example for which the Scott catalog value is intended to reflect; a most presentable and collectable copy of this rare coil that was issued specifically for use by the Bell Pharmaceutical Co. to mail their samples to doctors; clear 1973 APS certificate and 2014 PF certificate.
