There still being one manufacturer who used coils privately perforated this stamp was issued in four hundred subject sheets. It was also on sale at the Philatelic Agency and collectors had easy access to copies. However, the introduction of the 3,000 subject coils having made their further issuance unnecessary this practice was discontinued late in 1927. Most collectors and dealers believing the supply at the Bureau would long remain available failed to make the most of the opportunity and did not obtain sufficient copies to fill their needs. This variety is therefore more desirable than the perforated copies though more plentiful than the one cent imperforate stamp.

Because of the easy availability of mint copies from the Philatelic Agency almost all copies that survive today are unused. Blocks with cancels are scarce as the manufacturer had ordered them from the bureau for use as coils. Blocks would have been used on philatelic covers

The first one illustrates the guideline at the margin of the sheet, there being four of these on a sheet. The second one illustrates the crossing of the guidelines at the center of the sheet, there being only one example in each sheet. They sell for $7 and $25 respectively.
