It contains printing varieties from Scott number 1057* Statue of Liberty. The deep violet side coils are perf 10 vert. *In 2015 Scott changed many Liberty catalogue numbers after a half century. The rationale is that the first variety printed should retain the major number 1057. In this case wet stamps were printed before dry so the catalogue numbers needed to be scrambled. The minor number 1057a now refers to the common dry print variety. It will take years for the number changes to catch on within the philatelic community. Many dealers will continue to use the old numbers while some will switch to the new numbers causing confusion. Rest assured that our identification is current and accurate. The stamps are from the Liberty Series coil set which ran from 1954 to 1980. The definitive regular issues were printed first wet and reprinted later using a dry process. Generally the wet prints have a darker appearance and thinner paper. The wet printed stamps are notoriously off centered because the wet paper tended to stretch during production. The Post Office Department reprinted tagged stamps after they were discovered on Look Magazine covers. This set includes the Philatelic reprint. The 2 tagged varieties have different catalogue numbers because there are noticeable differences. The scarce Look stamps (1057c) are sold separately when available. Scott does not assign minor numbers for hole size, but catalogs like Brookman use the letter "l" for large holes and "s" for small holes. We add these numbers to be more collector friendly and to help those that use Brookman. We've assembled the set for you and there is no guesswork. All stamps are extremely fresh and guaranteed to be accurately identified. Some of these beautiful coils may have very fine centering. There is a 30% premium for VF but we offer better quality at our regular low price! If you purchase 2 sets we will send pairs. See below for magnified comparison of hole sizes.
