Sale 932, Lot 67, 1910-11 Coil Issue (Scott 385 to 389)2c Carmine, Coil (388). Mint N.H. pair with 3mm spacing, radiant color, crisp impression, magnificent centering with wide and balanced margins

EXTREMELY FINE GEM. A BEAUTIFUL GUIDE LINE PAIR OF THE RARE 1910 SINGLE-LINE WATERMARK 2-CENT PERF 12 HORIZONTAL COIL. THE RIGHT STAMP IS A SUPERB JUMBO.

This 2c coil was in production for only a short period of time before being superseded by the Perf 8-1/2 issue.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, many were used and few preserved.

With 2003 P.F. and 2004 P.S.E. certificates (XF 90; SMQ $19,400.00). This is the only Mint N.H. pair certified by P.S.E.
