About US Transport Coil
A series of coil stamps featuring various modes of transportation including a stagecoach, freight train, tugboat, and coal car. Designed by Richard Sheaff. The Transport series was innovative in its consistent design format with a vehicle silhouette on a colored background. The 20 cent stagecoach was the first issued. The series ran from 1981 to 1995. Transport coils are collected by paper type, tagging, and perforation varieties.
