 2c Red, Ty. I, Coil (449). Mint N.H., exceptional centering with wide margins all around, brilliant color and
detailed impression.EXTREMELY FINE GEM. AN EXTRAORDINARILY RARE MINT NEVER-HINGED EXAMPLE OF THE 1915 TYPE I VERTICAL COIL. AN OUTSTANDING RARITY. Type I rotary press stamps were produced using the same master dies as had been used for flat plate printings. However, due to the curve of the plate to fit the rotary press, the impressions lacked some of the details of the flat plate printings. New dies were made with strengthened lines, resulting in the Type II stamps. After plate wear was noticed, further strengthening was necessary, resulting in the Type III stamps. Scott 449 was not produced until almost a year and a half after the Type I horizontal coil, Scott 453. Due to the unpopularity of vertical coils, this Type I stamp was in production for only a short period of time before being discontinued. The stamp offered here, in Mint N.H. condition and with such choice centering and color, is a major rarity. With 1995 and 2002 P.F. certificates. (Image Magnifier) |

Pair, bottom stamp Mint N.H., fresh and bright colorFINE-VERY FINE PAIR OF THE RARE 2-CENT TYPE I ROTARY PRESS VERTICAL COIL, WITH THE BOTTOM STAMP IN MINT NEVER-HINGED CONDITION. 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 It was superseded in February 1916 by the Type III plate.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.
