2c Carmine, Coil (388). Guide line pair, gorgeous color, faint trivial toning at top perf junctureFINE APPEARING LINE PAIR OF THE RARE 2-CENT CARMINE 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This 2c coil was in production for only a short period of time before being superseded by the Perf 8-1/2 issue.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.
