NOTE ON COIL STAMPS: I make every effort to insure that any coil stamp is genuine, and not a result of trimming or alteration, which is common among the Washingtons and Franklins. In addition to the Scott Specialized U.S. Catalog, I reference 857 USA Washington Franklins Worksheet, Henry Gitner Philatelists, "Reperfing", and crotonstamp.com: Washington-Franklin Coils 101. These sites all offer valuable information on how high and wide coil stamps should be, tips on identifying faked perforations, and other guidelines to avoid forgeries. You should study these sites when buying or selling coils.

Who Am I: My name is Ronald D. Edge. I live and work in Bloomington, IN, United States. I am a member of the American Philatelic Society. # 204787. I collect antique stamps, comics, and books. I am a retired computing technology and support IT director and database programming professional in real life. Having retired in Spring of 2011, I am enjoying devoting more time to stamps and other hobbies and interests.
