VERY FINE AND CHOICE. AN EXTRAORDINARILY RARE MINT NEVER-HINGED EXAMPLE OF THIS RARE COIL.
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. This single is among the rarest of all 20th Century issues in sound Mint Never-Hinged condition. As an indication of rarity, we have offered only three other Mint N.H. singles, two Mint N.H. pairs and three Mint N.H. joint line pairs in the 14 years since we have been keeping computerized records.

EXTREMELY FINE. THIS IS EASILY ONE OF THE FINEST MINT NEVER-HINGED PAIRS OF THE 2-CENT ROTARY TYPE II IN EXISTENCE.
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.
This coil is surprisingly rare in Mint N.H. condition. A review of our computerized records, which spans 14 years of our auctions, revealed only one other Mint N.H. pair.
Ex Scarsdale. With 1999 and 2007 P.F. certificates (Image)
EXTREMELY FINE GEM. A BEAUTIFUL JOINT LINE PAIR OF THE 2-CENT ROTARY TYPE II COIL.
Ex Vineyard. With 1962, 1987 and 2003 P.F. and 2005 P.S.E. certificates (XF 90, SMQ $20,600.00). This is the only line pair graded to date. (Image)
EXTREMELY FINE GEM. A MAGNIFICENT MINT NEVER-HINGED JOINT LINE PAIR OF THE 3-CENT COIL, SCOTT 493. THIS BEAUTIFUL LINE PAIR HAS BEEN GRADED SUPERB 98 BY P.S.E., WHICH IS THE HIGHEST GRADE AWARDED TO DATE. IT IS THE ONLY EXAMPLE TO ACHIEVE THIS DESIRABLE GRADE.
Coil pairs, and especially line pairs, are exceedingly difficult to find in the higher grades. So many factors can affect the condition, including placement of the guide or joint line, how the margins were stripped on the coil machine, and of course the centering within the perforations.
With 2002 P.F. and 2008 P.S.E. certificates (Superb 98, SMQ $1,950.00). This is the only example to achieve this grade to date, which is the highest awarded. Accompanied by small note from master grader William A. Litle noting "I believe the first 98NH 493LP - and close to 100NH". (Image)
