2c Carmine, Ty. II, Coil (491). Mint N.H. pair, rich color, detailed impression, beautiful centering for this difficult issue

EXTREMELY FINE. THIS IS EASILY ONE OF THE FINEST MINT NEVER-HINGED PAIRS OF THE 2-CENT ROTARY TYPE II IN EXISTENCE.

Unlike most other issues, the horizontal coil is actually scarcer than the vertical coil. It was in production for only a short period of time before being replaced by the Type III, Scott 492.

This coil is surprisingly rare in Mint N.H. condition. A review of our computerized records, which spans 14 years of our auctions, revealed only two other Mint N.H. pairs.

Ex Scarsdale and Hoffman. With 1999 and 2007 P.F. certificates
