2c Red, Ty. I, Coil
(449). Pair, unusually choice centering for this difficult issue with
wide and balanced margins all around, brilliant colorEXTREMELY FINE. A SUPERB ORIGINAL-GUM PAIR OF THE 2-CENT VERTICAL COIL, SCOTT 449. AN EXTREMELY DIFFICULT PAIR TO FIND WITH SUCH CHOICE CENTERING. The 2c Type I rotary plate was used very briefly to make vertical coils issued in late 1915. It was briefly used because the Type I plate was not very deeply engraved and the curvature of the rotary press yielded impressions lacking in some of the details. The Bureau noticed this immediately, and quickly replaced it with the Type III plate (according to Scott, the EDU for No. 449 is Oct. 29, 1915 and the EDU for Type III is Dec. 21, 1915). With 1981 and 2000 P.F. certificates (Image) |
