156 nhPB 467 image#467, 2c Carmine from the 5c Carmine error sheet, full top margin plate no. 7942 block of six, this being the plate that produced the famous 5c Carmine transfer roll error, unusually well centered, bright color, o.g., n.h., vertical perforations a bit weak resulting in a few separated perfs. at top of sheet selvage, very fine. (Image) $250.00

SOLD for $220.00
Closing..Feb-11, 05:00 PM
157 nhPB 468 image#468, 6c Red orange, seldom seen full top margin plate no. 7137 block of six, incredibly fresh, strikingly vibrant color and impression, strong and intact, well centered, o.g., n.h., very fine and choice; this value, along with the 3c and 7c values from the unwatermarked perf. 10 series are, by far, the most elusive values to find as a full top plate block. (Image) $2,500.00

SOLD for $2,200.00
Closing..Feb-11, 05:00 PM
158 nhPB 469 image#469, 7c Black, an extraordinary full top margin plate no. 7719 block of six, one of the most challenging of all Washington-Franklin issues to find as a full top plate block, with this particular example being incredibly choice as well, outstanding centering, deep rich color and a razor-sharp impression, unblemished o.g. without any of the usual gum bends or skips, n.h., extremely fine; we can find no finer full top example in any of the other major plate block auction offerings in the past four decades.

SOLD for $6,750.00
Closing..Feb-11, 05:00 PM

(Image) $550.00

SOLD for $450.00
Closing..Feb-11, 05:00 PM
160 ogPB 471 image#471, 9c Salmon red, gem full top margin plate no. 6907 block of six, in a quality unlike any other we have had the pleasure to offer, brilliantly fresh and crisp, lovely rich color and impression on especially bright paper, exceptionally well centered, immaculate o.g., five stamps n.h., top center stamp with barest trace of hinging, extremely fine; a beautiful full top plate block for the finest collection.
