 #491, 2c Carmine coil, Ty. II, perf. 10 vert.,
choice used pair, unusually well centered within large margins, intensely
rich color in the characteristic carmine shade, strong impression, St.

mint pairs, which carry a catalog value of $5,250.00, and it is
particularly challenging to find a used pair in this select quality; 2006
PF certificate. (Image) |

in the characteristic deep rose shade of the Ty. Ia , natural s.e. at top
with guide line, plus perforated initials "OW/RN of the Oregon-Washington
Railroad and Navigation Lines, on United States Railroad Administration
corner card cover, tied by Seattle, Wash. Terminal Station machine cancel
dated December 15, 1919, the earliest documented usage, used locally
within Seattle, clean and attractive cover, very fine; the date of issue is
not known on this issue because this type variety came about in the normal
production of the already issued 2c stamps through an experiment in 1919
using ten subject dies and transfer rolls rather than single subject
devices, often unrecognized, collectors have found them to be of
considerably scarcity and particularly so on cover, a lovely example of
this difficult stamp on cover and enhanced by being the earliest documented
usage; 1998 PSE certificate; ex-"Alpha".
