1c Green, Boy Scout Private Coil, Perforated 14 Vertically (481 var). Rich color, outstanding centering with wide margins, including portion of adjoining stamp at bottom, bold "New York N.Y." precancel

EXTREMELY FINE GEM. A SUPERB EXAMPLE OF THE PERF 14 "BOY SCOUT COIL". THIS IS BY FAR THE FINEST EXAMPLE OF THIS SCARCE COIL WE HAVE ENCOUNTERED.

These privately perforated coils were produced for use on mailings by the Boy Scouts of America and are only known with the New York precancel. A Power Search review found four other examples offered in our sales since 1999. This example is by far the best centered among the few we have offered. Each of the others we have encountered is centered to one side.

With 2007 P.F. certificate. Unlisted in Scott
