VERY FINE APPEARANCE. A RARE BLOCK OF FOUR OF THE KUME ISLAND PROVISIONAL ISSUE.
This issue was printed on U.S. military mimeograph paper, then validated by the official seal (in red) of Norifume Kikuzato, postmaster of Kume Island.

EXTREMELY FINE. A UNIQUE SET OF TOP RIGHT CORNER MARGIN BLOCKS OF FOUR OF THE 2-CENT AND 4-CENT 1961 ISSUE.
These are the only denominations known as proofs, and only one sheet of each was found.
EXTREMELY FINE. A RARE MINT NEVER-HINGED BLOCK OF FOUR WITH ADDITIONAL SURCHARGE IN THE SELVAGE.
This error came about due to an 8.5mm downward shift in the overprinting of a single sheet, thus reversing the order of the lines of the surcharge. This bottom selvage block beautifully demonstrates this error.

EXTREMELY FINE. THE UNIQUE TOP LEFT CORNER MARGIN BLOCK OF FOUR WITH THE TOP TWO STAMPS SHOWING LEGEND OF SURCHARGE ONLY AND THE BOTTOM STAMPS WITH SURCHARGE TRANSPOSED. A HIGHLY EXHIBITABLE ITEM.
This error came about due to an 8.5mm downward shift in the overprinting of a single sheet, thus reversing the order of the lines of the surcharge. The top row shows the legend only without the "9c" of the surcharge, and the remainder of the sheet shows the surcharge transposed.
