2c Red, Ty. I, Coil (449). Pair, original gum, glowing color, attractive centering and margins with intact perfs at bottom and part of adjoining stamp

FINE ORIGINAL-GUM PAIR OF THE SCARCE 2-CENT TYPE I VERTICAL COIL, SCOTT 449.

The 2c Type I rotary plate was used very briefly to make vertical coils issued in late 1915. It was briefly used because the Type I plate was not very deeply engraved and the curvature of the rotary press yielded impressions lacking in some of the details. The Bureau noticed this immediately, and quickly replaced it with the Type III plate.
