1c Green, Coil (387). Guide line pair, deep rich color and proof-like impression, flag machine cancelVERY FINE. AN EXCEEDINGLY RARE USED GUIDE LINE PAIR OF THE 1910 ONE-CENT SINGLE-LINE WATERMARK HORIZONTAL COIL, SCOTT 387.
According to Johl this was issued on the same day as the vertical coil, Scott 385, and was current for less than two months. This is only the second used guide line pair we have offered since keeping computerized records, and we have offer no used pairs at all in the same time period. The other guide line pair, offered in our Twigg-Smith and Natalee Grace sales, brought $5,750.00 hammer.
With 1996 and 2002 P.F. certificates as Scott 352. With 2015 P.F. and 2012 P.S.E. certificates as Scott 387 (VF 80; SMQ $1,750.00). In our opinion this is undercatalogued based on its rarity.
