1.) numbers that appear at regular intervals at the bottom of modern <#coil=coil stamps>.  2.) numbers used on coil stamp <#plate=plates>prior to 1981.  These numbers were normally trimmed off the <#sheet> as a part of the production process and did not normally reach the public.  See also: <#ppn=Partial Plate Numbers>.

<#stamp=stamps> produced in a long strip, either vertically or horizontally.  Some were once issued <#imperf=imperforate>.  More commonly coil stamps have been issued with <#perf=perforations>, <#diecut=die cuts> or <#roulette=roulettes> between the stamps.  Coil stamps have been produced by the <#bep=BEP> and by private printers under contract to the Post Office.  Coil stamps were once produced by private manufacturers from <#imperf=imperforate> <#sheet=sheets> provided by the Post Office.  Coil stamps are sold by the Postal Service in rolls of 100, 3,000 and 10,000.  Historically they have also been sold in rolls of 500.

a <#marginmark=marginal marking> found on certain <#flatplate=flat plate> <#sheet=sheets>.  These sheets have increased spacing between the 10th and 11th vertical rows.  These sheets were intended to become <#coil=coil stamps>, but some became sheet stamps known as <#coilwaste=coil waste>.  This marginal inscription was trimmed off the sheet during coil production, but remained on the <#pane=panes> sold as coil waste.
