Item Description

Detailed Description
It is a stock image only. If you want to see the picture of the actual stamp(s), please check with me before you bid or place the order.

I order coil of 10,000 directly from the usps site and cut it to pnc27 per scott editor suggestion. Please refer to linn's web site for more details. The pnc27 strip will be shipped inside a vial (see second picture). It will not be folded.

Extract From Lynn's Web Site
> The
> United States Wild Orchids coil forever stamps issued Feb. 21 presented a
> challenge for the Scott catalog editors in trying to figure out how to collect
> a plate number strip that does not follow the precedents set by previous coil
> issues.
>
> Ten
> different Wild Orchids coil stamps were issued, but the plate number (“B”
> followed by four single digits) appears on every 27th stamp depicting the
> eastern prairie fringed orchid. Because of this, a Wild Orchids coil of 3,000
> or 10,000 cannot have 10 stamps repeating in order throughout a given roll.
>
> The
> Scott editors examined a long strip of Wild Orchids coil stamps and determined
> that a strip of 10 different stamps can be removed from a roll. Such a strip of
> 10 can be found in a roll with and without a plate number.
>
> On
> the plate number strip of 10, the plate number appears on the ninth stamp from
> the left. This strip of 10 with plate number will be listed in the Scott
> catalogs and will be included in the 2020 Scott Plate Number Coils album
> supplement.
>
> For
> a plate number strip with the plate number stamp in the center of the strip, 17
> stamps are needed. The first three stamps in the strip of 17 (picturing the
> large purple fringed orchid, terrestrial cowhorn and common grass pink orchid)
> appear only once. The Eastern Prairie Fringed Orchid stamp bearing the plate
> number in the center also appears without a plate number in the 16th position
> in the strip.
>
> The
> strip of 17 will be listed in the 2021 Scott catalogs, but there will be no
> Scott album page for it because it is too large to fit.
>
> a
> collector can thus remove from a roll a plate number strip of 17 and the
> immediately following strip of 10 without plate number. This neatly covers all
> 27 stamps in the plate number interval.
>
> Therefore,
> in each strip of 27 stamps, the three stamps that are found at the beginning of
> the plate number strip of 17 appear one less time than the other seven stamps.

Important tips to save shipping fee -

If you are purchasing multiple stamps through "Buy it now" option, please make sure all the items are in the basket before any payment. Please review the invoice carefully to ensure all the items are listed there so that Hip System can apply the combined shipping discount properly.

Otherwise, Hip / paypal will charge the full shipping fee for each item and they withhold the transaction fee & commission based on full shipping payment. There is no easy way to refund the difference unless we cancel all the transactions one by one.

If you have any question, please check with me before any payment.

Package Loss Responsibilities
In order to provide the lowest shipping fee, I am sending all items by USPS standard mail without tracking number. I cannot hold responsible if the packet is lost due to postage. If you need extra shipping protection, please consider the following options and let me know before you pay -

* Domestic Shipping Tracking Number - an extra of USD $3.00 PER INVOICE
