I'm not a real expert on this but I have a copy of 604vi priced at $35 and the specialized catalog specifies that it must have no trace of the score line to be considered to be an imperforate pair. I believe that with the score line it is less desirable and is looked on as an unseparated coil. What the difference is between that and the one without the score line seems negligible to me, but I guess it must be important. Surely they both would be unseparated coils. As to the value with the line, I haven't a clue since the catalog doesn't give one.

I thought Unitrade listed this, but it is so common, that it is pretty much worth the price of a regular coil, with perhaps a very modest premium.
Coils used to be sent to offices in blocks of 10 rolls, scored as you noted, so clerks can hit the coil block on the counter to separate the individual rolls. At one point, someone must have had the bright idea to sell these as imperf. Of course they are not, but some people were probably taken years ago. I have blocks of 4 as a curiosity, and am not expecting a payday from them!
True imperf coils do not have any hint of a score line between the stamps, and of course, there's no perf's in an imperf!

This is my diabetic cat OBI! I think, therefore I am - I think! Descartes, sort of!
