2c Red, Ty. I, Vertical Coil, Perf 10 (449). Pair, bottom stamp Mint N.H., fresh and bright color

FINE-VERY FINE PAIR OF THE RARE 2-CENT TYPE I ROTARY PRESS VERTICAL COIL, WITH THE BOTTOM STAMP IN MINT NEVER-HINGED CONDITION.

The 2c Type I rotary plate was used very briefly to make vertical coils issued in December 1915. It was superseded in February 1916 by the Type III plate. The early printing of the 2c rotary vertical coil was almost completely overlooked by contemporary collectors and dealers, who did not anticipate further production of vertical coils.
