3c Rose, Ty. I (25). Positions 1-2/11-12R7, block of four with top left corner interpane selvage and centerline, unusually wide perforations at top, rich color, cancelled by neat penstrokes, couple light creases and tiny pinpoint thin speck bottom right stamp

VERY FINE APPEARANCE. AN EXTREMELY RARE CORNER-MARGIN BLOCK OF THE 1857 3-CENT PERFORATED TYPE I STAMP.

The wide spacing of the perforations at top are very unusual. Blocks of this stamp are exceedingly rare, as is demonstrated by the fact that two pairs catalogues only $600.00. This is the only used corner margin block we have encountered.
