2c Carmine, Ty. II, Coil (491). Joint line pair, radiant color, bold strikes of duplex cancel, minor surface rubbing, few perf separations at bottom

FINE APPEARANCE. A RARE USED JOINT LINE PAIR OF THE 2-CENT ROTARY TYPE II, SCOTT 491. OUR CENSUS RECORDS JUST 12 USED JOINT LINE MULTIPLES.

Unlike many other issues, the horizontal coil is actually scarcer than the vertical coil. It was in production for only a short period of time before being replaced by the Type III, Scott 492.

Our census of used joint line multiples of Scott 491, available at our website at https://siegelauctions.com/census/us/scott/491 , records ten joint line pairs, a joint line strip of three, and a joint line strip of five. Most are off-center either top to bottom or side to side or both.

Census no. 491-CAN-LP-11. With 2013 P.F. certificate
