2c Carmine, Ty. II, Coil (491). Mint N.H., brilliant color, trivial natural perf disc indentFRESH AND FINE. A RARE MINT NEVER-HINGED EXAMPLE OF THE 2-CENT ROTARY TYPE II COIL, SCOTT 491.
Unlike most 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. We have offered less than a half-dozen unduplicated Mint N.H. singles since keeping computerized records.
