3¢ Washington, violetType IFlat-plate printingSingle-line USPS watermarkPerforated 10 vertically (coil)Issued December 18, 1914Swedish Tiger confirms:Used single: $30 – $40Mint hinged single: $60 – $100Mint never-hinged single: $130 – $300This is one of the scarcer Washington-Franklin coils. Only about 3.3 million were issued, far fewer than most contemporary coils.Your StampStraight edges on left and right confirm vertical coil format.Heavy horizontal bar cancel (common on coils used on packages or circulars).Appears sound with no major tears or thins visible.Centering is average to fine.ValueBecause of the heavy cancel, the stamp falls toward the lower end of the used range.Realistic current market value: $20 – $35A lightly cancelled or better-centered example would sit closer to $35–$45. Still a worthwhile and collectible coil — much scarcer than the common rotary-press 3¢ coils that followed.
