1911, 3¢ deep violet, the "Orangeburg" coil (389), deep fresh color and distinct machine cancel, faintest trace of a diagonal crease, otherwise Fine.
Scott $10,500
Expertization: 1984 P.F. Certificate.
This 3¢ coil was produced specifically to be used by the Bell Pharmaceutical Company of Orangeburg, N.Y. to mail samples to doctors across the county. The 3¢ stamps paid triple the fourth class mail rate indicating that the samples were quite bulky. In addition, the volume of the mass mailing resulted in the covers being put through the first class cancelling machine rather than being hand cancelled, as was custom. These two circumstances account for the fact that most of the surviving examples and virtually all of the known covers are affected by wrinkles, creases, or worse.
