A RARE SET OF 30¢ 1857 ISSUE ATLANTA TRIAL COLOR SETS IN BLOCKS OF FOUR AND LARGER.

It was long believed that the Atlanta card proof sheets of 100 were cut into one set of blocks of eight, two sets of blocks of four, and the balance singles. The set here with a reconstructed black block of sixteen from two blocks of eight would seem to indicate two sets of blocks of eight were originally made. US$0 (Image)
