2c Green on Blue, Die 87, Cut Square (U308). 32 x 38mm, rich color on crisp paper, neat cancel, Very Fine and choice, an extremely rare cut square, no unused and only two used entires are known, Porter Venn also records only two unused cut squares (Scott Retail $20,000.00) and two used cut squares, offered to the market for the first time since 1980, this seems very undercatalogued given its rarity (probably because none have been offered in a long time) (Image)
