FINE APPEARANCE AND VERY RARE. ONLY TWO PAIRS AND THIS SINGLE OF THE 1861 10-CENT GREEN IMPERFORATE HORIZONTALLY ARE KNOWN. A PHENOMENAL RARITY.
The last example we offered was in our 1992 Rarities sale. With 1990 P.F. certificate. Scott Retail as a pair (Image)
FINE. A SCARCE SOUND ORIGINAL-GUM BLOCK OF FOUR OF THE 12-CENT 1861 ISSUE.
Sound blocks with original gum have always been scarce, but the harvesting of centered singles has left very few blocks intact -- the largest recorded unused multiple is a block of six. Most remaining blocks are off center or have faults.
With 1989 P.F. certificate (Image)
FINE-VERY FINE APPEARANCE. AN EXTREMELY RARE ORIGINAL-GUM BLOCK OF FOUR OF THE 24-CENT 1861 ISSUE IN THE BROWN LILAC SHADE. PERHAPS THREE OR FOUR EXIST.
We would have lost a bet if asked about the rarity of unused blocks of Scott 70 or 70a before trying to answer the question of how many exist. The collections that are famous for blocks -- Caspary, Lilly, Ishikawa and Klein -- did not have any Red Lilac or Brown Lilac unused blocks. Only one other is contained in Power Search.

EXTREMELY FINE. A GORGEOUS PAIR OF THE 1861 24-CENT STEEL BLUE TIED ON A PIECE BY THE SUPPLEMENTARY MAIL CANCEL. TRULY PHENOMENAL IN EVERY RESPECT.
We are surprised this pair has remained intact, as the 24c Steel Blue shade is difficult to find with such choice centering. (Image)
