Readers Digest M V Coil Strips
Picture

Some multi value coils were provided by Royal Mail for special customers, these were affixed to a card with wax, and  used  as return postage for promotions.

 IE: Readers Digest, Drive Magazine and Marshal Ward are three of those known.  These are known to collectors as readers Digest Coil Strips.

All these strips are collectable, even if they have been removed from the original card, obviously these will show a gum disturbance across the rear of the strip. As with the items shown on the previous page, it should be noted when purchasing coil material that perforations are normally trimmed . Coil Strips can ( are ) also collected in different se-tenant formats. These are quite difficult to obtain and as such carry a premium over the norm. All RD coils were printed by Harrison & Sons in gravure.
