Sale 1139, Lot 95, Washington-Franklin and Later Issues2c Deep Rose, Ty. I-Ia (499-500). Mint N.H. pair from Positions 94-95 with bottom plate no. 10208 selvage, left stamp Ty. Ia, choice centering, right stamp small gum skip

EXTREMELY FINE MINT NEVER-HINGED SCOTT 499-500 COMBINATION PAIR.

Type Ia was created in 1919, when the Bureau of Engraving & Printing created an experimental 10-subject transfer roll, and used it to enter two new plates (Nos. 10208 and 10209). The two Type I positions from the bottom row of plate 10208 were the result of re-entries using the normal Type I transfer roll (the 10-subject roll would have been too large to accomplish single position re-entries).

This is one of the choicest examples of this combination we have encountered and it is unpriced in Scott as Mint N.H.. Scott Retail as hinged
