Help on finding value of WWII German coil

Spahnfan

I have not been able to find anyone to assign a value to a WWII German 6+4+6 original coil.

Don't know but Kool

Were they sold to the public this way? Or did this come directly from the printer? Never seen a coil like this before. The USA rolls I've seen look a lot smaller. These look to be very wide stamps.

Here is a picture of a couple of stamps that would be in the coil. They are the same width as far as I can tell. Does this help?

Yes very helpful, thanks! I was imagining them oriented the other way (90 degrees from what you've shown) that's why I asked if they were very wide.

Interesting, esp with the Ostland overprint. I've seen the individual pairs and trios (e.g., 6+4+6) but don't remember a full roll but its been a while since I did stamps.

Here's a German ebay listing of a set of all 4 possible positions. I'm not sure if the roll has a premium, but the breakup value into sets would seem to be at least a starting point.

Good luck!
