EXTREMELY FINE APPEARANCE. A BLOCK OF 20 IS THE LARGEST RECORDED MULTIPLE OF THE 1865 2-CENT DARK BLUE NUMERAL ON WOVE PAPER. ONLY FIVE ARE KNOWN TO US.

In addition to this and two other blocks of 20 from the Golden collection, we know of two other blocks of the same size (one ex Honolulu Advertiser and the other ex Pietsch).

Scott Retail as four blocks of four and four singles
