Is there a general knowledge link one can learn about the basics of these?
I am not collecting, but curious. I have heard it's fantastic by the flyspeckers, and others, a big Ho Hum. How often does the number appear on the coil? Must you collect 3 stamps with the pnc in the middle etc? http://cjoint.com/data/ikf1sRre5b.htm Thanks. |

Then the vogue changed to PNC5s. Now it is moving to PNC7s. I'm pretty sure that this is mostly driven by dealers: to sell stamps around the plate number stamp that would otherwise be just discount postage, and, more sneakily, make obsolete all the old collections with the shorter lengths. AFAIK dealers squirrel away entire rolls, so that they will be future-proof. When I'm sorting kiloware as part of charity stamp drives (to sell to Swan or whatever), I set apart the PNC stamps -- on commercial mail, they show up the predicted 5% of the time. On philatelic mail, they show up less frequently, of course. On another coil note, the "Commemorative Coils" of the "Flags of Our Nation", each installment featuring ten stamps, are listed by Scott as two strips of 5 so that they will be easier to mount. Anyone care to guess what sort of premium will be applied to full strips of ten in 20 - 30 years? I think we've discussed that here before, and some thought demand would *never* outpace the supply in dealers' stocks, but I'm not so sure. -- Joshua H.

It vairies greatly in some cases. Usually the high values have plate numbers much closer than the one centers. Ralphael, the OLD one |
