Coil Line March 2013 27

from the PNC3 president . . .

Treasurer John Himes reports that over 250

members did not renew their membership in a

timely fashion after the 2013 dues notice in the

December issue. He speculates that the reason

might be that members aren’t reading the journal.

Or that they are skimming the issue only for special

items of interest.

This is indeed unfortunate, as late renewers

incur a $4 late fee. (This fee covers the cost of

reminder letters as well as the cost of sending the

missed issue of Coil Line by first-class mail.)

Some members reported that they did not

receive a bill for renewal and therefore did not

respond. Perhaps these members are confusing our

club dues-renewal notification policy with that of

APS or USSS. These organizations send renewal

notices via first-class mail to members each year at

great expense. PNC3 has never adopted such a

policy, expecting that members will have sufficient

notice in the monthly journal. A plea in December

to “do it now, before it is forgotten” apparently fell

on deaf ears in many cases.

Perhaps we will need to incur the expense of

first-class dues bills this year if that is what the

membership wants. Alternatively, we could post

notice of renewal in both the November and

December issues, giving members twice the oppor-

tunity to respond in a timely fashion. Some

feedback on these alternatives (or a different

suggestion) would be welcome so that the Board has

a sense of what the membership desires in this

regard. Send thoughts to me at [email protected] or

16435 W. Desert Wren Ct., Surprise, AZ 85374.

Elsewhere in this issue is a list of members

who have been dropped for non-payment.

Fortunately, after a reminder mailing went out in

January, most members did renew, but there were

still 83 who had not renewed by the start of Feb-

ruary. If you know any of these good folks, perhaps

you could contact them to encourage them to renew

now. The renewal form is in the December issue or

available from John Himes (contact info on mast-

head page). We’ll send back issues of this year’s

Coil Line as long as the supply lasts. – Gene Trinks

PNC3 Regional Meetings

Welcome!

If you are a new reader to Coil Line, PNC3 is

in our 26th

year. We are a community of stamp col-

lectors specializing in plate numbered coil issues of

the USA. The first PNCs were issued in 1981 and,

in February 1988, a network of PNC specialists

founded our club. Coil Line was launched in May,

1988 and serves (along with other club literature)

to inform collectors on the many aspects of PNCs.

Studies include scarce numbers, varieties, printing

methods, market values, PNCs on mail, and more.

Thank you for visiting, and we hope you’ll join us!

Connecticut Stamp Show March 10

The Connecticut Chapter of PNC3 plans to

meet at the Second Sunday Stamp Show, March 10th at the Executive Suites (formerly Comfort Inn), 900 E Main St., Meriden, CT at 1 p.m. (The meeting for February 10

th as mentioned in last

month’s Coil Line was canceled due to the massive snow storm that struck the Northeast.) Postmaster Maurice Bessette will have an extensive array of stamps including the new coils. 8 to 10 dealers plan to attend as well. Plenty of free parking is provided, and free breakfast and lunch from 10 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Contact Mike Conway at (203) 268-5896 or [email protected] if you have any questions. The CT Chapter of PNC

3 is also planning a

regional meeting at Philatelic Show 2013, May 3-5, in Boxborough, MA. More details will be announced in a future Coil Line.

Want to Sponsor a Regional Meeting?

Contact Tony Bruno for suggestions. He can put

you in contact with others who have taken on the

task. Several members have made it a regular habit

of promoting meetings in their area.

Where is a PNC Version?

The U.S. Postal Service announced on February 6 that it plans to end Saturday mail delivery to street addresses effective August 6. That date is the Monday of the first week without Saturday delivery, exactly six months after the news. Postmaster General Patrick Donohoe stated in an interview on PBS that evening that the cutback plan would save $2 billion a year. He noted stamped mailpiece volume dropped from 51 billion in 2003 to 30 billion in 2012. Two days later, I heard news that a sharp drop in mail volume for October-December 2012 factored in a $1 billion USPS loss for the quarter. Ever since the notion of ending Saturday delivery became serious about a year or so ago, I have wondered if a particular flaw in the plan would be addressed. It didn’t, since we don’t have an alternate plan that keeps Saturdays in the rotation of a reduced five-day delivery week. The flaw is that too many Saturdays are part of extended weekend holidays, most being “federal Monday” holidays. As a coincidence, I’m writing this on the Saturday of President’s Day weekend. I learned that a three-ounce parcel I left for my carrier to pick up the prior Wednesday was not delivered Friday to an address that gets two-day service for my letters. Without delivery on Saturdays, the next possible delivery date is Tuesday, six days for first-class mail to travel 95 miles. But that is only one vignette of the plan’s outcome. A minimum five federal holiday observances are set on Mondays. This is 10% of the weeks in a year that Tuesday delivery will consist of four days’ mail. Then consider that sometimes other holidays will fall on a Monday (Veterans Day in 2013), and also others falling on a Sunday will be observed on Monday (e.g., July 4

th in 2011).

Yet this impact of dropping Saturday delivery continues: Some Monday deliveries likewise will consist of four days’ mail. Having a normal two-day weekend for letter carriers now means holidays falling on Fridays are included for the first time. This is in addition to those falling on Saturdays that are observed on Friday (e.g., New Year’s in 2011, as well as the preceding Christmas Day a week prior). Granted, given the substantial reduction in mail volume that has occurred in the past decade or so, this observation could be construed as tilting at windmills. However, the fact remains that for many areas of small-business, home-office and hobby commerce involving mail, these episodes of “feast or famine” mail delivery will have substantial impact on their schedules, and thus, their operations. – Ron Blanks

Editor’s Message

Member Peter Tukker submitted the above

related item in response to the question raised in last

month’s issue about the existence of a 1¢ Bobcat self-

adhesive coil used to uprate a 44¢ large-roll coil on a

direct-mail piece.

From Easter Seals, it has an ordinary Des

Moines inkjet postmark of January 29, 2013,

canceling a 44¢ Quill (available only in self-stick

large rolls) and an attached pair of 1¢ Tiffany Lamp

coils (available only in gummed large rolls). The

postage paid the one-ounce first-class rate that went

into effect two days earlier.

Since two different coil issues were affixed, the

odds of having at least one be a PNC are slightly

increased. (If I recall probability correctly, based on

the PNC intervals the 1 in 10 odds are the sum of:

the odds of a PNC on the 1¢ Tiffany Lamp pair, 2 in

31, and on the 44¢ Quill, 1 in 27 [.065+.037=.102].)

So Peter’s example is one of the 9 in 10 where

no PNC is present; does anyone know of an example

with a PNC? Interestingly, it occurred to me that

with 44¢ Quill rolls on hand, meeting the new 46¢

rate by affixing gummed 1¢ pairs was quicker than

affixing two 1¢ Bobcat self-sticks. – Ron Blanks


Readers’ Forum

I found this 42¢ U.S. Flag

PNC from the first set of the Flags of

Our Nation series (the first stamp in

the series, actually) and it looks like

an embedded cobra to me. If it is an

embedded cobra, have many been

reported? I haven’t seen any in Coil

Line or online. Also, would you call

it a “Valley/Valley” (V/V) or a “Peak/

Valley” (P/V) die cut?

– Joe Lenahan #2127

[The “cobra” shape is the row-separator portion of

the vertical die cutting on most Sennett Security

Products’ produced coils. It is normally sliced in

half by row-slitting during coiling so that half is at

the top run of peaks and valleys; half is at the

bottom. If the die cutting is mis-aligned in relation to

the printed images, then more or all of this row

separator is displaced above or (as in this case)

below the horizontal cut that normally slices it in

half. Joe initially emailed another PNC3 member his

questions and received the following reply.]

Yes, this is a very nice example of an

embedded cobra. The stamp is P/V, which is true of

all stamps in this series. For Sennett stamps, if the

separator die cut runs like this “/”, it’s P/V. If it runs

like this “\”, it’s V/P. The FOON series is only P/V.

I’m not sure how many of these have been reported,

as I don’t think anyone is keeping count of embedded

cobra finds. It’s a fun item, and perhaps quite rare,

but would only command a small premium over a

normal die-cut stamp – perhaps 50% more or maybe

even double the normal price. But you won’t be able

to retire on the proceeds! – John Himes #957L

On the counterfeit (41¢) Flag PNC shown on page 18 of the February Coil Line: I wrote an article in the June 2008 Coil Line (page 107) about other counterfeits of this issue. One of those displayed a similar plate number (S111) to last month’s report. However, while the newly reported fake used three colors for the plate number, the earlier reported one used only blue ink. – Robert Thompson #1415L

Closeups of counterfeit plate number coils

reported in Coil Line: all-blue S111 (top, from June

2008 issue), multi-color S111 (bottom, February 2013). After I wrote the Editor’s Message for this issue,

I learned that Saturday street-address mail delivery is

not the only activity the USPS intends to eliminate.

The USPS will also stop processing most outgoing

mail on Saturdays. Even though post offices open on

Saturdays will remain open, the USPS failed to also

publicize that mail deposited at those POs on week-

ends will not even be collected until the next work day (up

to four days later during holiday weekends). This will

have much more impact on those actively mailing (e.g.,

getting bills out), in contrast to any ambivalence of the

public about which days mail is delivered. – Ron Blanks

46¢ Kaleidoscope Flowers

Plate S11111

PNC ID 2013-1

The 46¢ Kaleidoscope Flowers from Sennett

Security Products went on sale in Kansas City,

Missouri on January 14, 2013. It was issued in large

rolls of 3,000 and 10,000 for use by mass mailers who

use affixing equipment to stamp their mail. The

Kaleidoscope Flowers’ 46¢ denomination pays the

First-Class mailing rate that went into effect on January

27, 2013.

The S11111 plate number shown to the left

repeats every 28th

stamp along the roll. Most collectors

will save this as a PS9 (plate strip of 9) with the plate

numbered stamp in the middle of the strip.

The 3K rolls have 4-digit back numbers and the

10K rolls have 5-digit back numbers. The only rolls

known so far have an odd-number back number config-

uration. On an “odd back number” roll, the closest that

the back numbered stamp (every 10th

) gets to the plate

number coil is one right or one left of the plate number.

The issue is comprised of four designs, or rather

one design executed in four color schemes, as shown

below. The stamps come on a liner that is higher than

the stamp, with gaps between each stamp to facilitate

use in affixing equipment. “USPS” is microprinted on

each design (shown below).

4-digit back number

found on 3K rolls

Note: The back number

creeps two stamps with

each new plate #.

“I would like to thank all the members that

have donated lots for this auction and future ones,

since I always seem to have a backlog of them

from auction to auction. Please bid on these as

they help keep your dues as low as they are. Good

luck in this auction to both sellers and bidders.”

--Joe Sedivy,

Auction Director

Email: [email protected]

* Bid Sheet is on inside of cover wrapper.*

Terms & Codes Used

1. Numbers in ( ) indicate total number of items in lot; [ ] =

number of items within a subset of the lot.

2. All lots are listed with a minimum starting bid and bids must

conform!

3. For precancel strips: If there is a gap, it is listed; no listing =

NO GAP!

4. In case of a tie bid, the earliest postmark or email date wins.

5. All winning bids will be at one bidding increment over the

second high bidder.

6. I will not accept phone bids; bids must be only via mail and

email! (Please find Bid Sheet on wrapper for mail use.)

7. R = right, L = left, HVY = heavy, Lt = light, BMC = black

machine cancel, PMC = purple machine cancel, FDC = first

day cover or cancel, S-# = plain strip, P = position, RHC = red

hand cancel, BHC = black hand cancel, @ = at.

8. ALL Bids must be in the auction director's hands by the closing

date Sunday, March 31, 2013 and not just postmarked

by then!

9. Bids not conforming to the bidding increments will be lowered

according to the proper increment.

10. “Buy Bids” will be accepted, but realize that only one Buy Bid

can be honored and that is the first one, and at only one

advance over second high bidder.

11. IF you add a “+” (plus sign) to your Bid, I will use to break a

tie only if needed.

12. Please, when placing a bid over the Internet, DO NOT use a

spreadsheet or other such program as I have problems opening

them. Just place in a standard email form. Once placed, please

do not mail a confirming copy. The email address to send your

bids to is [email protected]. No phone bids please!

13. If you need to call me with questions on a lot but NOT to

place a bid, please call after 7 p.m. Chicago time as I still work

a full-time job. (773) 622-0663.

This and That

Member Jeff Fiszbein has found a used copy of

one of the 29¢ Herbs (the Oregano design) with an

obvious upward shift of the black color that causes

the image to look blurry and the year date to be split

between the top and bottom of the stamp.

Scott Raises Some PNC Values

While we have gotten used to value decreases for PNCs, the U.S. Scott 2013 Specialized Catalogue did include some price increases, particularly for some of the multi-design PNCs. For instance, all of the regular 33¢ Berries (Scott 3302-05) go from $7.75/13.50 for PS5/PS9 in the 2012 edition to $10.00/16.00 in the 2013 edition, and the linerless Berries (Scott 3404-07) go from $17.50/30.00 to $20.00/45.00. The latest increase example I noticed were all of the various 42¢ Flags from rolls of 100 that went from $7.50/12.50 to $10.00/15.00.

Update to “New Coil Issues Arriving”

The 46¢ Patriotic Star in 10k rolls is scheduled for March 19, with #S111 every 27 stamps. The February 25 issue of Linn’s Stamp News clarifies that 3k rolls are not currently planned. The San Francisco issuance location is likely in conjunction with the National Postal Forum being held there March 17-20. In related news, a “Forever” denominated Flag for all Seasons regular issue will be released, likely in May. The four designs appear as if looking up at a flag against a background of trees in each of spring, summer, fall, and winter seasons, respectively.

New Plate # for 3¢ Coffeepot

Member Richard Beecher reports finding a new

plate number “S2222” for the 3¢ Silver Coffeepot coil

in the American Design series (Scott 3759). This is

the first plate number to supersede an existing number

for a coil in this series. Richard posted online at the

Virtual Stamp Club that he found the new PNC on a

DAV envelope.

46¢ Kaleidoscope Flowers #on#?

Unconfirmed at press time, a PNC dealer has

just reported finding a “# on #” roll (in which a

counting backnumber is on a plate numbered stamp) of

the new 46¢ Kaleidoscope Flowers issue.

Odd Phosphor Tag Breaks on 32¢ Aloha Shirts Former member Scott Adams reports finding

phosphor tagging breaks on the 32¢ Aloha Shirts at the

second die-cut margin to left of the PNC (position

“2L,” or “3L/2L” as some label the locations between

stamps: left side of the stamp to the left of the PNC).

A second break is at the eighth margin to right of the

PNC (8R) in the same roll. This seems a bit odd as the

2L-8R spacing (spanning 10 stamps) is significantly

shorter than the 8R-2L spacing (spanning 15 stamps).

You would expect them to be roughly equally spaced.

(Since the plate number interval is 25, they couldn’t be

exactly equal unless one of the breaks fell in the middle

of a stamp.) I was able to examine the actual roll.
