This issue is part of the 2000 Fruit Berries set, which differs considerably from the 1999 Fruit Berries issue. First, the 2000 stamps were issued in a vertical format, with die cuts at the top and bottom. The 1999 stamps were a horizontal strip with die cuts at the sides. In addition, the 2000 Fruit Berries coil stamps do not have liner paper. The first linerless coils appeared in 1997 when the 32¢ Flag Over Porch and non-denominated Juke Box stamps were issued.
