2c Red, Ty. I, Coil (449). Mint N.H. joint line pair, vivid color, bottom stamp with pencil notation at bottomFINE AND RARE MINT NEVER-HINGED JOINT LINE PAIR OF THE 1915 2-CENT TYPE I VERTICAL COIL.
The 2c Type I rotary plate was used very briefly to make vertical coils issued in late 1915. It was briefly used because the Type I plate was not very deeply engraved and the curvature of the rotary press yielded impressions lacking in some of the details. The Bureau noticed this immediately, and quickly replaced it with the Type III plate (according to Scott, the EDU for No. 449 is Oct. 29, 1915, and the EDU for Type III is Dec. 10, 1915).
With 1975 and 2015 P.F. certificates

$1.00 Violet Black (460). Mint N.H. top imprint, plate no. 5782 and letter "A" block of six, gum is pristine without bends or skips, deep rich color on post office fresh paperVERY FINE. AN EXCEPTIONALLY RARE MINT NEVER-HINGED PLATE BLOCK OF THE 1915 $1.00 PERF 10 DOUBLE-LINE WATERMARKED ISSUE, SCOTT 460.
Lewis Kaufman records only six top and six bottom plate blocks for this issue. Among that small population is a tiny number with Mint N.H. gum. We have seen only this plate block and a Mint N.H. top plate block offered in one of our sales in 2006 (Sale 920, lot 220). Plate 5782 was the only plate prepared for each of the $1.00 Franklin issues (Scott 423, 460, 478 and 518).
