2c Carmine, Ty. VII, Imperforate (534B). Horizontal pair, huge margins, right stamp Mint N.H., left stamp barely hinged, brilliant colorEXTREMELY FINE GEM. A SUPERB PAIR OF THE RARE TYPE VII IMPERFORATE OFFSET STAMP, SCOTT 534B, WITH THE RIGHT STAMP IN MINT NEVER-HINGED CONDITION. THIS IS THE FINEST EXAMPLE WE HAVE ENCOUNTERED.
Most Type VII stamps were used by private vending and affixing machine companies. However, unlike Scott 314A and 482A, a small supply of the imperforate 2c Type VII stamps did reach the public.
With 2013 P.S.E. certificate (Gem 100; unpriced as a multiple in SMQ). The P.S.E. Population report does not contain another unused example of Scott 534B above the grade of 98, either as a single or a pair
