Sale 1139, Lot 92, Washington-Franklin and Later Issues2c Red, Ty. I, Coil (449). Pair, bottom stamp Mint N.H., top stamp h.r. and with joint line at top, deep rich color, few perf separations

FINE PAIR OF THE 1915 2-CENT TYPE I VERTICAL COIL WITH THE BOTTOM STAMP MINT NEVER-HINGED.

The 2c Type I rotary plate was used very briefly to make vertical coils issued in late 1915. It was briefly used because the Type I plate was not very deeply engraved and the curvature of the rotary press yielded impressions lacking in some of the details. The Bureau noticed this immediately, and quickly replaced it with the Type III plate (according to Scott, the EDU for No. 449 is Oct. 29, 1915, and the EDU for Type III is Dec. 10, 1915).

With 1977 P.F. certificate. Scott Retail as singles
