I believe all coil (perfs on 2 sides) versions where Rotary Press. The sheet version was available in both. Rotary press stamps used curved plates so the actual printed image is slightly taller or wide than the flat.

Hi all,
I have this stamp and was trying to determine which one I had.
How can you tell a Coil from a Flat Plate from a Rotary manufactured/printed stamp?
Thanks,
JR
