Since collectors who care about these things want strips, or at a minimum pairs, in order to show the significance of the "pasting up", singles would have very little demand.
Accordingly, if it were in my stock, I would treat it as an "undesirable" feature and offer it at a discount, rather than a premium. Should some collector disagree with me and grab it as a bargain, so much the better.
But that's just me.

I wouldn't consider it to a detriment to the stamp, but since it is a single I wouldn't consider it to be an asset either. They are called pasted up strips for a reason. The singles like you have would be relatively common since most people using the coils for mailing purposes would just detach them as a single stamp and use them. That's probably why you don't see a lot of paste up strips or pairs. I've been collecting for a long time and only have one - two each of MR7 and MR7a joined, making it MR7v as a strip of 4 instead of 2. Does anyone know what that does to the value, if anything? To me it would be the price of the paste up pair with two singles added on.

Thanks for the front pic. Those paste ups are much different from the Irish that I collect.

I just noticed something. My paste up strip is perforated horizontally, your's is vertical. They must have somehow reperfed over the strip on your stamp which is that one extra step and is done well. I wonder if they always matched the perfs up to the previously done ones or if they did all the perforations after the paste was done. Have to think about that one!! Were the sheets pasted before they were made into coil strips? Or were the sheets cut into lines of coils first, then pasted and then perforated? Does anyone know the answer to that?

I have an Admiral coil stamp that appears to be a paste up (Upper left in pic). I know there are separate values for paste up pairs, but how about singles?
