3c Violet, Coil (445).
Mint N.H. guide line pair, almost perfect centering with extra wide
margins, fresh color on bright paperEXTREMELY FINE GEM. ONE OF THE FINEST MINT NEVER-HINGED GUIDE LINE PAIRS OF SCOTT 445 IN EXISTENCE. According to Johl (Vol. 1, page 143), the 3c stamps were mainly used for special mailings such as samples and pamphlets and were therefore not widely available to collectors of the day. This accounts for their rarity in such superb and pristine condition. With 1982 and 2002 P.F. certificates (Image) |

2c Red, Ty. I, Coil (449).
Joint line pair, lightly hinged, fresh and bright color, wide
marginsEXTREMELY FINE JOINT LINE PAIR OF THE RARE TYPE I ROTARY PRESS VERTICAL COIL. 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 EKU for No. 449 is Oct. 29, 1915 and the EKU for Type III is Dec. 21, 1915).
