Sale 1140, Lot 872, 1912-15 Washington-Franklin Issue (Scott 405-461)2c Red, Ty. I, Coil (449). Pair, lightly hinged, radiant color, well-balanced margins

VERY FINE AND CHOICE PAIR OF THE 2-CENT VERTICAL COIL, SCOTT 449.

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. 21, 1915).

Ex Laehder. With 1993 P.F. certificate.
