With the introduction of the 1975 Rose Definitive stamp issue, the Post Office found that the new stamps were too large to fit in automatic stamp-affixing machines - such as the Postafix machine by Data Link Co, California.

The 1978 Coil Stamps solved this problem, but as an interim solution, supplies of the 1970 3c and 4c moth Definitive stamps were overprinted by the Government Printing Office with 7c and 8c denominations and made up into rolls of 400 stamps.
