2c Carmine, Ty. VII, Imperforate (534B). Mint N.H. horizontal pair, large margins all around, vivid color, light natural gum wrinkle at top right not mentioned on accompanying certificateEXTREMELY FINE AND RARE MINT NEVER-HINGED PAIR OF THE 2-CENT TYPE VII IMPERFORATE.
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. Mint N.H. pairs do not come to market very often -- we have offered only a handful of others in the past ten years
