528A

#528A, 2c Carmine offset, Ty. VI, full top margin plate no. 11590 block of six with monogram over the plate number, remarkably fresh and crisp with no separations, bright color, o.g., n.h., attractive fine centering; extremely rare as the top position of only this plate shows the monogram, considering that there were 103 different plates used for this issue, Scott seems grossly undervalued when the normal plate block of any number and position is valued at $700.00.

#539, 2c Carmine rose coil waste, Ty. II, perf. 11x10, brilliantly fresh mint single, in a true "post office" state, rich luxuriant color and a crisp detailed impression on immaculate paper, while centered just a bit to right, this is actually much better centered than typically encountered on this notoriously poorly centered stamp, pristine o.g., never hinged, very fine; 1992 PSE certificate.

#541, 3c Violet coil waste, top margin plate no. 9146 block of six, well centered, attractive color, o.g., top left stamp and bottom center stamp very lightly hinged, other four stamps n.h., very fine; while the Scott catalog lists the acceptable plate block as containing only four stamps, a few incorrectly cut sheets yielded the ability to have a plate block of six with the plate number in the traditional center position; catalog as a hinged plate block of four and two never hinged singles; 2004 PF certificate.
