Strip of eleven with plate no. 5299 and star at top and also fourth position with foreign entry of 1c design, two stamps Mint N.H., several with adherences, brilliant color, one or two light vertical creases between stampsFINE-VERY FINE APPEARANCE. A RARE STRIP OF ELEVEN OF THE 2-CENT IMPERFORATE FLAT PLATE COIL, SCOTT 344V, WITH THE PLATE NUMBER AND FOREIGN ENTRY OF THE ONE-CENT DESIGN.
This foreign-entry variety was caused when the 1c Franklin die transfer roll was used by mistake on plate 5299 -- the error was immediately caught and corrected by erasing the 1c entry, but the hairs from Franklin's head and traces of the "One Cent" remained on the plate.
