Sale 1199, Lot 1532, 1917-20 Issues (Scott 519-547)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 certificate

EXTREMELY 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

With 1988 (for block) and 1998 P.F. certificates
