2c Carmine, Coil (386). Guide line pair, brilliant color, light strikes of Alabama oval registry cancel, centered to left but frameline is clear, Fine and extremely rare in genuine used condition, only a handful of guide line pairs have been certified as genuine and this is the finest we have encountered, with 2006 P.S.E. and 2007 A.P.S. certificates as on its original July 1918 registered cover (cover does not accompany, but is photographed), with 2008 P.S.E. certificate as off-cover (F 70; SMQ $1,200.00), this is the only guide line pair which has been graded by P.S.E., we feel this is undervalued by both Scott and SMQ, as the example from our sale of the "Natalee Grace" collection, which was centered even more strongly left, realized $5,500 hammer
