but lists the stamp in the coils section
is this an error?
did they put the incorrect stamp there or is stamp #2710 really called a coil, even though if has perforations all over?

What I think has happened is that the catalog editor failed to notice that the picture of the stamp in question was not a coil stamp. Coil stamps of that design were issued afaik.

Hi Kira, here are scans of the set which may help. At the back of Unitrade there is a lisiting of all the definitive sets which is very helpful regarding coils etc.
Edit, I have just noticed that the Burrowing Owl stamp described as a coil is perforated all around, so will have to check my Unitrade again and also Scott.
Strange.

OK, mystery solved, it is a coil but was done on a backing paper. If you go to the notes after the listing for 2714, there is a visual and description. So if you have a mint strip of 6 or more you can see the coil number.

I know this stamp had a backing sheet but there were coils done that were perfed all around, for example, some of the early Ireland coils!

Hi Kira, looks like you have a few gaps, I have some spares so if you would like to message me with a list of what you are missing, I'll see what I can find.
PS, love the French sevens.

sheepshanks: yay
i saw that others (like tennisman and betyar68) are using google sheets to create their want list...
that is a very very good idea.
i have been working to create my own want stamp list and i have shared it online here
at i write this i completed 2010 to 2024
this is a lot of work but makes for a much easier way to track missing stamps
for recent years i have been using the stampworld site for the numbers because my 2024 unitrade catalog does not go further than may 2023
thanks
