5c Pan-American (297). Bottom imprint, plate nos. 1140/1141 and arrow block of ten, left pair and and top right stamps lightly hinged, otherwise Mint N.H., rich colors and proof-like impressions, choice margins and centering

EXTREMELY FINE. A BEAUTIFUL AND RARE BOTTOM DOUBLE PLATE NO. BLOCK OF 10 OF THE 5-CENT PAN-AMERICAN ISSUE.

Bottom plate blocks are more desirable, because they show plate numbers from both the vignette and frame plates. A Power Search review found only three other examples offered in our sales in the last 15 years (one Mint N.H., two hinged)
