New", blue control no. 154033 on reverse; minor corner crease bottom left, Very Fine,ex-Livingston. Scott No. 610P1a; $2,000.
This proof was from the set presented to President Calvin Coolidge in 1929. Although it is dated August 21, 1923 just prior to when the stamp was issued, the control number indicates this was one of the proofs that Harry New had made in 1929 before he left office and is therefore on wove paper rather than India. Harry New present to President Coolidge a set of die proofs for all the stamps that were issued during the Harding-Coolidge presidencies, interestingly most of the proofs from this set were original approval proofs prior to the issue of the stamps, the proof offered here is one of the exceptions that apparently was needed to fill out the set.

ONE OF THREE KNOWN PLATE BLOCKS OF THE 1923 2¢ HARDING IMPERFORATE ERROR ISSUE WITH PLATE NUMBER "14870" - A PLATE THAT WAS SOLELY USED FOR THE PERFORATED FLAT PLATE ISSUE.
A single imperforate pane of 100 from plate 14870 was discovered in a post office pad of 100 panes of normal perforated stamps. Despite the fact that the pane had been "blue-penciled" for destruction at the Bureau, it had somehow been distributed with the normal panes. A month and a half later, when the 2¢ black Harding was officially issued imperforate (Scott #611), it was printed from a different set of plates, thereby allowing only the imperforates with plate number 14870 attached to be positively identified as coming from the error sheet. All others became indistinguishable from the regularly issued imperforates. US$0 (Image)
