Sale 1156, Lot 3749, 1918-20 Washington-Franklin Issues (Scott 525-547)2c Carmine, Ty. VII, Imperforate (534B). Horizontal pair with guide line between stamps, lightly hinged, brilliant color, large even margins all around

EXTREMELY FINE GEM. A SUPERB PAIR OF THE RARE 2-CENT TYPE VII IMPERFORATE, WITH VERTICAL GUIDE LINE, GRADED XF-SUPERB 95 BY P.S.E.

Most Type VII stamps were used by private vending and affixing-machine companies. However, unlike Scott 314A and 482A, a small supply of the imperforate 2c Type VII stamps did reach the public.

With 1991 P.F. and 2013 P.S.E. certificates (OGph, XF-Superb 95; unpriced as pair with guide line, SMQ $4,750.00 for normal pair), this is the highest grade recorded in the P.S.E. Population Report. Scott Retail for normal pair
