VERY FINE. A MOST IMPRESSIVE PLATE BLOCK OF 30 OF THE ONE-CENT POST OFFICE DEPARTMENT SPECIAL PRINTING.
Most Officials were printed from 100-subject sheets. The 1c Post Office was one of eight denominations across all departments printed from 200-subject sheets. This piece nicely demonstrates the format of the 200-subject sheet, which was divided by a knife between the left and right panes of 100.
The plate block is unpriced in Scott. In the few instances where Scott prices plate blocks for other 1c or 2c Special Printings, they generally apply a multiplier of 6-8 times the price of 12 singles. Applying that multiplier to this piece would yield a Scott Retail value of approximately $4,600.00 (Image)
