2c Carmine, Ty. II, Coil, (491). Joint line pair, original gum, barely hinged, deep rich color, very well-centered with nicely balanced margins

EXTREMELY FINE. A RARE CENTERED JOINT LINE PAIR OF THE RARE 2-CENT ROTARY TYPE II COIL.

Unlike many other issues, this horizontal coil is much scarcer than its vertical coil counterpart (Scott 487). The Type II horizontal coil, Scott 491, was in production for only a short period of time before being replaced by the Type III, Scott 492. Only about a month separates the EDUs for the two coils (Dec. 19, 1916 for No. 491 and Jan. 13, 1917 for No. 492).

With 1977, 1999 and 2014 P.F. certificates
