2c Carmine (519). Mint N.H., choice centering with well-proportioned margins, rich color and proof-like impression

EXTREMELY FINE. A BEAUTIFUL MINT NEVER-HINGED EXAMPLE OF SCOTT 519.

This stamp was created in 1917 when a small excess supply of the imperforate Scott 344 was returned in from the post office in New York City to the Bureau. Rather than credit the New York post office for the returned postage, the Bureau preferred to perforate the sheets. They were then returned to the post office in New York and placed on sale.

Ex Piedmont and Laila. With 1990 and 2000 P.F. certificates
