Enschede 2nd class coil MA12 MRIL commercial use

We reported in July last year that the 2nd class coil, printed by Enschede, was available in rolls of 10,000 with a 2012 year code MA12.  We've had mint examples available for some time (shop).  Now we can show the first on-cover example from a direct mailing source (rather than from a dealer or collector).





The two variations on the 4-line ink-jet wavy lines came from different mailings, the 'upper' one from March this year, and the 'lower' one from a recent mailing.



 So if you support charities, take a good look at their mailings if they use stamps.  You might be the first to find the MA13 version, if it exists!

UDPATE: As you can see in the comments, it is not the MA13 version which has been found, but a new M12L version.  Thanks to the contributor we can show the picture.   This post is now closed for comments and comments may be made on a new current post.

    Hi
    I have just come across an M12L version of this MRIL 2nd class in kiloware. I specialise in these security issues and never knew this existed. Any idea where this comes from?

      Hi,

      Thanks for the report, I've also seen this on Stampboards but I hadn't really done much online today.

      I agree it is not the one that we previously saw and reported, definitely new. It will be from a different printing of the 10,000 coil. The red one is MA12 which makes this even more strange, and suggests that it might pre-date the one we were selling!
