AN EXCEPTIONAL EXAMPLE OF THE RARE 2¢ TYPE II, ROTARY COIL WASTE ISSUE, WHICH IS VALUED BY SCOTT IN THE GRADE OF FINE.
Expertization: 2000 & 2007 PF Certificates.
Provenance: Odeneal, Hoffman
The vast majority of the 2¢ Type II Coil Waste are very poorly centered, and truly well centered never hinged singles are truly rare. A glance at the PSE population report reveals the highest grade for hinged or never hinged is only an 80. This example certainly ranks as one of the finest extant.
