2c Carmine, Coil (388). Guide line pair, original gum, lightly hinged, radiant color, choice centering

EXTREMELY FINE ORIGINAL-GUM GUIDE LINE PAIR OF THE 2-CENT HORIZONTAL COIL, SCOTT 388.

This 2c coil was in production for only a short period of time before being superseded by the Perf 8-1/2 issue. Due to the greater popularity of the horizontal coils with users, combined with a wary attitude by many collectors that early coils were simply trimmed stamps, most were used and few preserved.

With 2009 P.S.E. and 2010 P.F. certificates (both OGph, VF-XF 85; SMQ $10,000.00). Only one line pair grades higher (at 90, we have never offered it) and none share this desirable grade.
