2c Carmine, Coil (322). Choice centering for this difficult issue with wide margins, brilliant color, lightly hinged

EXTREMELY FINE ORIGINAL-GUM EXAMPLE OF THE 2-CENT 1908 HORIZONTAL COIL.

Armstrong notes that only 167 examples had been certified by the Philatelic Foundation as of 1980. The frequency with which this coil appears at auction would indicate that it may in fact be rarer, and that Armstrong's census information may contain duplicate records. Issued on July 31, 1908, and intended only to be used by private vending machine companies, Scott 322 is only known with the Die II widened line at lower left.

Blue backstamp from Scott Stamp & Coin Co. With 1994 P.F. certificate for pair.
