VERY FINE APPEARANCE. THIS IS PROBABLY THE FINEST OF THE TWO OR THREE KNOWN USED BLOCKS OF THE 6-CENT 1869 PICTORIAL ISSUE. A WONDERFUL RARITY.

In his book United States Postage Stamps of 1869, Jonathan Rose records only two or three used blocks. To underscore their rarity, none was present in either the Juhring, Rose, Kuphal, Mack, Coulter, Eubanks, Heimburger or other specialized collections of the 1869 Pictorials we sold recently.

Ex Pitcher, Ishikawa and Twigg-Smith. With 1993 P.F. certificate. Scott Retail $9,000.00 (Image)
