A European Connoisseur's Collection of U.S. Classic Issues continued...

1861-66 Issue, cont. (Scott 71-77)
Lot Sym. Lot Description  
2222 ogbl Image30c Orange (71). Block of four, original gum, lightly hinged, well-centered, bright fresh color on crisp white paper

VERY FINE ORIGINAL-GUM BLOCK OF THE 30-CENT 1861 ISSUE. A BLOCK OF FOUR IS THE LARGEST RECORDED UNUSED MULTIPLE.

This block is one of approximately eight different blocks we have located in past auctions. It demonstrates that the 30c 1861 plate left very little space between the stamp subjects. Consequently, perforations usually cut into part of the design. This fact is acknowledged in both the Scott Catalogue and Stamp Market Quarterly, and the 30c 1861-68 Issue is one of the few for which centering standards are adjusted accordingly. (Image)
