Flag Coils

Since stamps of Washington, Franklin, and Lincoln are no longer the main choice for definitives, it would see that stamps with the U.S. flag are dominating definitives. There are a few like the ones at the top in which the flag is flying in the foreground, with a famous government building in the background (such as the capitol, Supreme Court, and other buildings), or a scene from the America the Beautiful song (e.g., amber waves of grains).

Note

These stamps were printed in a coil for distrubution from vending machines at the post office – which can be convenient after closing hours. Most of them are line-pairs. For a description of that, see my Line Pairs album page.

I’ve tried to collect only line-pairs of coil stamps, although I’m not entirely convinced of that preference. The ones of flags here are not line-pairs, though. I couldn’t find them for sale anywhere. I figured it’s better to have something than nothing. I may replace them one day – if I find them.
