Vibrantly fresh and VF mint NH example of the very scarce 1888 printing of the 2c Registered Letter Stamp in the distinctive (but often mis-identified) rose carmine shade. This is the key shade of this value. The stamp comes with a copy of the Vincent Graves Greene photo certificate for the original pair, which states in part "mint, OG, NH… rose carmine shade, genuine in all respects". Unitrade is $1,500.00 for VF mint NH. 2021 Scott catalogue value US$750.00=
