2c Carmine, Ty. III, Coil (492). Mint N.H. joint line pair, brilliant color, choice centering with wide and balanced margins, Extremely Fine Gem, ex "Scarsdale", "Golden Oak" and "Clipper City", with 1999 P.F. and 2007 P.S.E. certificates (XF-Superb 95; SMQ $500.00), this is the highest grade awarded and it is shared by seven others, we are not sure why the SMQ value is stuck at $500.00, since this pair brought more each of the last three times we have sold it (last was $800 in 2017)
