2c Carmine, Ty. II, Coil (491). Joint line strip of three, the joint line between the left pair, rich color, bold strikes of "New York H.T." oval cancels, right stamp with faults (could be removed leaving a sound joint line pair)

FINE. A RARE SOUND USED JOINT LINE PAIR OF THE 2-CENT ROTARY TYPE II, SCOTT 491, CONTAINED IN A STRIP OF THREE. WE RECORD ONLY NINE USED JOINT LINE MULTIPLES.

Unlike many other issues, the horizontal coil is actually scarcer than the vertical coil. It was in production for only a short period of time before being replaced by the Type III, Scott 492.

Our census of used joint line multiples of Scott 491, available at our website at http://siegelauctions.com/dynamic/census/491/491.pdf , records seven joint line pairs, this strip of three, a strip of four and a strip of five.

Census No. 491-CAN-LP-07. With 1980 P.F. certificate
