VERY FINE. A BEAUTIFUL AND RARE IMPRINT AND PLATE NUMBER PAIR OF THE $2.00 TRANS-MISSISSIPPI ISSUE FROM THE TOP PLATE POSITION.

The Scott Catalogue premium for an imprint and plate number pair versus two singles seems inadequate ($4,750.00 vs. $3,800.00). The premium for a plate block of four versus a block of four is more than ten times. A review of Power Search found only three others offered since 1998, and all of those were from the bottom plate position.

351 og Image$2.00 Trans-Mississippi (293). Top left corner selvage imprint and plate no. 613 strip of five, natural s.e. with part arrow at right, original gum, barely hinged (a few appear Mint N.H.), choice centering, deep rich color and proof-like impression, few sensibly reinforced perf separations

VERY FINE. A RARE AND DESIRABLE IMPRINT AND PLATE NUMBER STRIP OF FIVE OF THE $2.00 TRANS-MISSISSIPPI ISSUE.

The $2.00 Trans-Mississippi Issue is very difficult to obtain in traditional plate block form. Only one plate block of six (ex Ambassador and Kobacker) and one contained in the half-pane of 25 are known. Collectors usually settle for an imprint and plate number block of four.

With 1995 P.F. certificate. Undercatalogued in Scott as an imprint and plate number strip of three at $8,000.00; the plate block of four catalogues $90,000.00, and the plate block of six catalogues $175,000.00. This is the only imprint and plate number strip contained in Power Search, which covers all of our Rarities sales since 1964 and regular auctions since 1994. (Image)
