Estimate $20,000 - 30,000

A highly interesting block, which was sold as a block of #163 in the Lilly, Braus, and Klein auctions. It was purchased by William R. Weiss, a noted collector and expert on the 15¢ Banknote issue, who decided it was a #152, and it was sold as such in his collection sale. No matter whether #152 or 163, it is the largest known multiple. The largest recorded unused multiple of #152 is a block of six and the largest unused multiple for #163 is this block.

As #152, this block catalogues $60,000 and as #163, it catalogues $43,000. Neither catalogue value takes into account the value of the ten never hinged stamps in this block. (Image) 		Suggested Bid $20,000-30,000
