Sale 1062, Lot 724, 1918-20 Issues (Scott 525-547a)2c Carmine, Ty. VII, Imperforate (534B). Mint N.H. pair, radiant color, large even margins all around

EXTREMELY FINE AND RARE MINT NEVER-HINGED PAIR OF THE 2-CENT TYPE VII IMPERFORATE.

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 reached the public. Mint N.H. multiples of this issue are very rare. This is the first we have offered since a pair in our 2009 Whitman sale and it had narrower margins than the pair offered here.

With 1988 P.F. certificate for block of four, this the top pair
