349

#349, 2c Carmine coil, perf. 12 horiz., guide line pair, incredibly well centered within lavishly large margins for a perf. 12 coil, gorgeous intense color, immaculate o.g., n.h., extremely fine; anyone who has been seriously seeking out early coil line pairs will immediately recognize the rarity of this line pair in such gem quality, as #349 line pairs when found are first suspect as to their genuineness (as a great many are found fake), and if lucky enough to be certified genuine they are typically found a bit off center, tightly margined, hinged or all three, not in the extraordinary condition this pair boasts; one of the great condition rarities of the entire sale; 1996 PF certificate.

353

#353, 2c Carmine coil, perf. 12 vert., a gem mint single of a coil that is notorious for often being found faked, this particular example is the finest certified single we have offered in quite some time, extraordinarily well centered within uncharacteristically large margins, deep radiant color, o.g., n.h., extremely fine; the catalog value of a #353 bears little relationship to the true market value of a premium quality example such as this; 1998 PF certificate.

353

#353, 2c Carmine coil, perf. 12 vert., another remarkable quality mint pair, with huge 3mm spacing, possessing gigantic margins that are almost impossible to find on this surprisingly difficult and scarce coil, beautifully centered, with the left stamp in the pair being, quite likely, the largest margined and best centered #353 known, intense color and impression on bright paper, pristine o.g., n.h., extremely fine; an eye-arresting coil pair; 1994 PF certificate.
