2c Carmine, Coil (388). Guide line pair, slightly disturbed original gum, incredibly deep rich color, ample to wide margins

FINE. A RARE GUIDE LINE PAIR OF THE 2-CENT HORIZONTAL COIL, SCOTT 388.

This 2c coil was in production for only a short period of time before being superseded by the Perf 8-1/2 issue. Due to the greater popularity of the horizontal coils with users, combined with a wary attitude by many collectors that early coils were simply trimmed stamps, many were used and few preserved.

With 1991 and 2012 P.F. certificates
