2c Red, Ty. I, Coil (449).
Joint line pair, fresh and bright color, wide margins at sides, neat strike
of duplex cancelVERY FINE AND CHOICE. ONLY NINE JOINT LINE PAIRS AND ONE JOINT LINE STRIP OF FOUR OF SCOTT 449 HAVE BEEN CERTIFIED BY THE PHILATELIC FOUNDATION. A MAJOR RARITY.
The 2c Type I rotary plate was used very briefly to make vertical coils issued in December 1915. It was superseded in February 1916 by the Type III plate. The early printing of the 2c Rotary Vertical Coil was almost completely overlooked by contemporary collectors and dealers, who did not anticipate further production of vertical coils. With the basic letter rate at 2c, used coil multiples are extremely rare.
