Coil stamps
A coil stamp is a type of postage stamp sold in strips one stamp wide. The name derives from the usual handling of long strips, which is to coil them into rolls, in a manner reminiscent of adhesive tape rolls.
This 2-cent coil stamp of the US 1954 Liberty series was used heavily throughout the 1950s and 60s.
