New 1¢ Bobcat coil on the prowl

The United States Postal Service issued a new variety of its 1¢ Bobcat coil on Saturday (Feb. 21) during the Aripex stamp show in Mesa, Ariz.

The self-adhesive stamp is printed in coils of 10,000, but collectors can order a smaller strip of 100 stamps from the Postal Service online, or Stamp Fulfillment Services by mail or phone. Use item No. 786905 to order the strip of 100.
