Category — 1914-17 Issue (Scott 442-497)
2c Carmine, Ty. II, Coil (491). Pair, original gum, lightly hinged, unusually choice centering, beautiful glowing color
EXTREMELY FINE. A GORGEOUS PAIR OF THE RARE 2-CENT HORIZONTAL COIL, SCOTT 491, GRADED XF 90XQ BY THE PHILATELIC FOUNDATION and xf 90 by p.s.e.
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.
Ex "Adventurer". With 2009 P.F. (XF 90 XQ) and 2008 P.S.E. certificates (OGph, XF 90). Only three hinged pairs grade higher (at 95) and five share this grade. For Mint N.H., only one has been graded, at 95 (we have never offered it), indicating how difficult this is to obtain in Mint N.H. condition with decent centering.
