2c Carmine, Ty. II, Coil (491). Mint N.H., rich color and detailed impression

VERY FINE AND CHOICE. AN EXTRAORDINARILY RARE MINT NEVER-HINGED EXAMPLE OF THIS RARE COIL.

Unlike most other issues, the horizontal coil is actually scarcer than the vertical coil. It was in production for only a short period of time before being replaced by the Type III, Scott 492. This single is among the rarest of all 20th Century issues in sound Mint Never-Hinged condition. As an indication of rarity, we have offered only three other Mint N.H. singles, two Mint N.H. pairs and three Mint N.H. joint line pairs in the 14 years since we have been keeping computerized records.

With 2005 P.S.E. certificate
