Bonus 8-14.  10c coil pairs were popular uses of the general public during the 20c letter rate era (Nov. 1981 - mid-Feb. 1985); the coils were a mainstay of post office vending machines into the 1990's.
 
 
Bonus 8-15.  Study of four mint 10c coil pairs, showing typical range of acceptable production variations in color, inking and trimming.   The top two pairs have shiny gum; the bottom two have dull gum.
 
 
Bonus 8-16.  Imperforate (error) 10c coil pair, the first reported of the 10c "lines-only" precancel coil.  While this guide was being written, Linn's Stamp News reported a collector's revelation of the existence of this error pair (image edited from Linn's, July 21, 2008, p.1)
