Horizontal strip of ten with repeating Types A-E from left to right, large margins except touched at left, bright shade, light multiple strikes of "LIMA" dotted oval, three vertical creases, left pair thinned, a few other tiny imperfections

VERY FINE FOR A MULTIPLE OF THIS SIZE. THIS UNIQUE AND REMARKABLE STRIP OF TEN PROVED THE COMPOSITION OF THE MEDIO PESO LITHOGRAPHIC STONE, EARNING IT ACCLAIM AS THE "ROSETTA STONE" OF PERU. AN EXHIBITION PIECE OF THE HIGHEST ORDER OF RARITY.

The Medio Peso stone was built up from transfers of the five-unit bloc report (Types A, B, C, D and E). A vertical block of ten of the Medio Peso Buff is the only other multiple of this size (larger than five). When Islander had his pick of the Schatzkes collection, he chose this strip over the block, because the strip shows the all of the transfer types.
