2c Carmine, Coil (388). Guide line pair, lightly hinged, intense color and proof-like impression, beautiful centering with wide marginsVERY FINE AND CHOICE. A BEAUTIFUL GUIDE LINE PAIR OF THE RARE 1910 SINGLE-LINE WATERMARK 2-CENT HORIZONTAL COIL.
The 2c single-line watermark horizontal coil, Scott 388 was in production for only a short period of time before being superseded by the Perf 8-1/2 issue, Scott 393. In addition, 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.
Ex Silver Lake and "Golden Oak". With 2001 and 2014 P.F. certificates
