2c Carmine, Coil (322). Barest trace of what may be hinging (appears Mint N.H. to us), brilliant color, unusually choice centering with wide and balanced marginsEXTREMELY FINE GEM. A SUPERB EXAMPLE OF THE 2-CENT HORIZONTAL COIL, SCOTT 322.
This stamp was the basis of the Scott listing of the 2c 1908 Shield coil in Mint N.H. condition. Before this stamp was reported, Scott 322 was only listed as hinged. With the P.F.'s reversal of their opinion the Mint N.H. listing should be discontinued.
Ex Lessin (as a pair). With 1997 P.F. certificate as pair and 2009 P.F. certificate as single
