Yet another thread of mine.
This time I want to talk about the Coil stamps from Germany.
The Coil stamps exists in Germany since 1905.
The difference between the stamps that came from the roll and those that came from a sheet was the number of stamps that were underneath each other.
That is why the Germans speak of an 11-er Streifen because stamps from one sheet could only be 10 long, so a 11-er Streifen is the proof that those stamps are from a roll.
Well as usual first the story and then the pictures.

Stamp roll (Coils)
A roll of stamps or simply a roll refers to a form of delivery of stamps.
For this purpose, stamps with the same motif and the same value are printed either above or next to each other.
Purpose
Different denominations are often available in a special stand at the counter and are quickly at hand.
Some issues were also dispensed through stamp machines.
In both cases, the main advantage of roll stamps is that when selling, the stamp only has to be separated on one side (up to 4 sides in the sheet), which saves a significant amount of time at the counter and makes sales via vending machines possible in the first place .
Manufacturing
In contrast to sheet stamps, where 10, 25, 50 or 100 stamps are usually printed in one sheet, roll stamps are produced in “large sheets” according to the intended roll size.
Sizes of 200, 300, 400, 500, 1,000, 2,000, 5,000 or 10,000 stamps per roll are common.
The sheets are perforated and then cut so that only one stamp hangs on the other, although it does not matter whether the stamps are only perforated on two sides or on four sides.
Specifics in Germany
Sale
The roll stamps do not differ externally from the same issues in sheet form.
However, the side perforation of a roll stamp is generally of poorer quality than the sheet stamp due to the automatic cutting.
For this reason, the same stamps are also produced in sheet form in a small edition for collectors.
To simplify billing, every fifth stamp now has a tracking number on the gummed side.
In order to avoid technical malfunctions in vending machines, so-called empty fields were glued to the end of the roll.
These are usually greenish pieces of paper the same size as the actual stamps, which were also perforated.
On the one hand, this should make it possible for the machine to sell all brands, but on the other hand, it should also automatically detect the end of the roll in order to avoid a “non-sale”, i.e. H. To prevent inserting money without issuing stamps because the roll is used up.
Since mid-1995, the empty fields have no longer been stuck on all roll sizes unless they are to be sold via vending machines.
Blank fields are now generally no longer stuck on as roll stamps are no longer sold at vending machines; Vending machine brands are sold there today.
Afterwards, there were only empty fields for 10,000 rolls of the permanent series Sights (40 Pfg, 45 Pfg, 47 Pfg, 110 Pfg (Expo MiNr. 2009), 47 Pfg (0.24 euros), 110 Pfg (0.56 euros), 0.25 euros, 0.55 euros) used.
However, not only the four blank fields at the end but also nine blank fields at the beginning were stuck on there to protect the stamps, as these stamps are automatically stuck onto the shipments by the senders.
Packaging
The banderoles and the sealing plates are collected from the roll packaging.
Each unopened roll of stamps is enclosed in a band.
From the Important Germans series onwards, ten rolls were then packed in plastic film and provided with a round sticker called a closure plate at the top and bottom.
This type of packaging existed until mid-1995.
From mid-1995, at the same time as the tightening strips were discontinued, the rolls were individually packed in a colorful folding box and glued together to form ten boxes on the sides with two fixing points.
The boxes could be broken off individually.
Each brand had its own box color, which was very complicated.
Later, as today, all packaging boxes for roll brands are uniformly white-grey and have a sticker printed with the value level, the total price, the date of manufacture, the issue series and the brand's motif.
The information content and typeface of the stickers vary from time to time.
The boxes are no longer glued on the sides.
In Germany, self-adhesive special stamps have also been issued in so-called stamp boxes since 2000.
The stamps are stuck on a roll of paper and have the counting number on the back of the carrier film.
The usual roll size is 100 pieces.
From 2005 onwards, all roll sizes in the new permanent series of flowers have neither empty spaces nor pull strips.
This means that the collection area for roll ends is completed with pull-on strips.
Collection forms
The counting number is the only sign that a stamp can be proven to have come from a roll; alternatively, proof can only be provided by a strip of 11 stamps (for stamps that were produced in sheets of ten by ten stamps), for smaller printed sheets the number is correspondingly smaller.
For the roll stamps of the Federal President Heuss series, the verifiable roll stamps are traded at a higher price depending on the circulation figures; for all of the following series, the sheet stamps are regularly more expensive.
However, roll tokens are still collected in strips of several tokens (strips of 3, 5, 6, 11 or 15).
The roll beginnings, roll parts and roll ends must be differentiated using the counting numbers on the back, which in current editions have five, four, three, two or one digits.
Pay attention not only to the stamps, but also to the counting numbers on the back.
In addition to the usual black counting numbers, there were also red counting numbers for the Heuss series
Heuss series
and red, blue, green and blue-green counting numbers for accident prevention.
Unfallverhutung (Accident Prevention)
Since around 1996, the counting numbers have no longer been printed with a mechanical roller mill, but with an inkjet printer.
There are counting numbers with and without a dot after the counting number, depending on which machine the stamps were used during production.
The sprayed number color is usually gray.
Around the end of 2004 four values appeared in a smaller partial edition with deep black number colors with a dot behind the counting numbers.
(10 Pfg, 20 Pfg, 1 Euro and 4.10 Euros)
In later editions the counting numbers were again found in gray as usual.
