FINE-VERY FINE. A BEAUTIFUL LIGHTLY HINGED GUIDE LINE PAIR OF THE 1910 SINGLE-LINE WATERMARK 2-CENT PERF 12 HORIZONTAL COIL, SCOTT 388.

This 2c coil was in production for only a short period of time before being superseded by the Perf 8-1/2 issue. Due to the greater popularity of the horizontal coils with users, combined with a wary attitude by many collectors that early coils were simply trimmed stamps, many were used and few preserved.

With 2000 and 2007 P.F. certificates as Mint N.H. (F 70). With 2016 P.S.E. certificate (OGph, F 70; SMQ $2,900.00)
