FRESH 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.

With 1989 P.F. and 2005 P.S.E. certificates
